Callicroft Primary School
About Callicroft Primary School
Callicroft Primary School in South Gloucestershire has been rated Good across all categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection from 2022, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 43 per cent. That is well below the local authority average of 61 per cent for primary schools, and places Callicroft 62nd out of 93 schools in South Gloucestershire. In national rankings, the school sits in the bottom half of all primaries, at the 88th percentile. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 65 per cent of pupils met the expected standard in writing, and 60 per cent in reading, but only 53 per cent did so in maths. At the higher standard, just 5 per cent of pupils achieved that level in maths, and 17 per cent in reading, while no pupils reached it in writing.
