About Perry Wood Primary and Nursery School

Perry Wood Primary and Nursery School stands out sharply against the Worcestershire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, Perry Wood achieves 77% — a full 16 percentage points higher. This places the school first out of 18 primaries in Worcester and in the top 25% nationally. The school’s Progress 8 scores are not available, but its raw attainment figures tell a clear story: 89% of pupils hit the expected standard in both reading and maths, and 81% did so in writing. At the higher standard, 40% of pupils reached that level in reading and 37% in maths, both well above typical local figures. These results are particularly notable given that 31.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a proportion that suggests the school is adding significant value for its cohort.
