Flyford Flavell Primary School

About Flyford Flavell Primary School

Flyford Flavell Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit below the Worcestershire local authority average, which is a notable point for parents weighing up options. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 56%, compared with the LA average of 61%. That five-point gap places Flyford Flavell in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 12th out of 17 schools within the Wychavon borough. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects: 88% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, well above the typical national benchmark, and 75% did so in both reading and writing. The school’s average scaled scores — 106 in maths and 107 in reading — are solidly in line with national norms. So while the combined headline figure lags behind the local average, the school is clearly delivering strong results in core subjects, particularly maths.

The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, carried out in November 2016, rated it Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management, and for early years provision. A subsequent ungraded inspection in November 2021 confirmed the school remains Good. This represents a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was judged to Require Improvement. In terms of academic progress, the data does not include Progress 8 scores for this primary phase, but the Key Stage 2 outcomes give a reasonable picture: 19% of pupils achieved the higher standard across reading, writing and maths, while 44% reached the higher bar in reading and 38% in maths. The school’s ranking within the West Midlands region places it at the 66th percentile, and nationally at the 65th percentile — broadly mid-table. For a small village primary with just 110 pupils, these results suggest consistent, if not exceptional, academic performance.

Flyford Flavell is a state primary for mixed genders aged 5 to 11, with a nursery provision attached. It is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 44 applications for just 15 places, with 14 of those going to first-preference families — an oversubscription ratio of nearly 3:1. This suggests strong local demand, likely driven by its village setting and range of facilities, which include a library, art studios, a forest school, a sensory room, and a sports hall. The school offers a broad set of clubs — gardening, coding, drama, eco club, choir — and sports such as gymnastics, football, cricket and swimming. Its SEND provisions cover specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, speech and language needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. With a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (5.5%), the school serves a less disadvantaged catchment than many. It will suit families who value a small, community-focused primary with strong maths outcomes and a good range of enrichment activities, but who are comfortable with a combined headline result that sits just below the local average.
