55th of 215 primary schools in Leicestershire we can score, 231 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,279 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Wymeswold Church of England Primary School
Overview
Wymeswold Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils “thoroughly enjoy coming to school” and feel “happy and well cared for.” The inspection confirms that leaders are ambitious for all pupils, with a curriculum designed to foster independence and a strong sense of community. While the school maintains high expectations and effective safeguarding, there are specific areas regarding curriculum implementation and support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) that require attention to ensure consistent progress.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well, listen attentively, and produce “high-quality work” while knowing how to keep themselves safe.
- Reading is a clear priority, with significant investment in phonics training resulting in younger pupils quickly developing the skills to “read fluently.”
- The early years provide a “strong start to school life” through carefully planned activities that develop vocabulary and communication.
- Parents value “clear communication” from the school, and a large majority would recommend it to others.
- The curriculum promotes an understanding of global issues, diversity, and different cultures, helping pupils show “respect for people and ideas that are different from their own.”
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure the curriculum in every subject is “adapted suitably to meet the needs of all pupils, including pupils with SEND,” so they can become independent, successful learners.
- Staff in a few subjects must “check carefully what pupils know and can do” from previous learning to address misconceptions and provide appropriate next steps.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
