About Barugh Green Primary School

Barugh Green Primary School has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2024, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement on its previous rating of Requires Improvement from December 2021. The inspection report awarded Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This consistency suggests the school has addressed the weaknesses identified in the earlier inspection and is now on a stable footing. The most informative exam metric available is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, which stands at 63. While Barugh Green’s own KS2 results are not published in this data, the fact that the school sits in a local authority where only three out of 77 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating puts its Good grade into perspective. It places the school in a solid middle tier, performing reliably above the baseline of improvement.
