Check the area around this school
147th of 197 primary schools in Cambridgeshire we can score, 210 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 4,299 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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 | 39.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.30 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Wyton on the Hill Community Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils feel safe, valued, and ready to learn, benefiting from a welcoming environment and modern facilities. Leaders have recently revised the curriculum to set ambitious goals, and staff consistently apply behaviour policies that support concentration and respect. While most pupils achieve well, particularly those with special educational needs, there are inconsistencies in how effectively the new curriculum is implemented across all subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils settle quickly and enjoy strong friendships, with bullying being rare and adults resolving issues promptly.
- Teachers adapt teaching effectively for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, enabling them to access the same curriculum as their peers.
- Leaders prioritise reading, systematically teaching sounds to help pupils become fluent and independent readers.
- The school offers a broad personal development curriculum, preparing pupils for life in modern Britain through active citizenship and respect for difference.
- Staff feel supported regarding workload and well-being, and governors hold leaders to account effectively.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers lack clarity on essential prior knowledge, leaving gaps in pupils’ understanding that hinder successful learning.
- Support for the weakest readers is not always effective, with expectations for their progress not always being high enough.
- Early years staff are less clear about the precise subject knowledge children need to be fully prepared for the Year 1 curriculum.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with up-to-date training, appropriate systems to manage concerns, and close monitoring of pupils in most need.
