Calton Primary School
About Calton Primary School
Calton Primary School sits in Gloucestershire, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 59. Without its own published KS2 results in the data, it's impossible to say whether Calton beats or trails that benchmark. What is clear from the Ofsted picture is that the school is currently rated Requires Improvement overall, a step down from the Good it held in its previous inspection back in 2014. That places it well behind the nine outstanding primaries in the LA, the nearest of which is Abbeymead Primary School, 3.2 kilometres away. For parents comparing headline metrics, the lack of recent exam data is a gap, but the Ofsted rating gives a clear signal that the school is not yet performing at the level of its strongest local peers.
