About Redmarley Church of England Primary School

Redmarley Church of England Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection back in 2008. The most telling academic metric for this small primary in the Forest of Dean is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard: 50% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits below the Gloucestershire local authority average of 59%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 78th percentile. Within the Forest of Dean, it ranks 21st out of 39 schools on this measure. The school’s reading average scaled score of 102 is slightly above the national baseline of 100, while maths averaged 99. A higher proportion of pupils reached the higher standard in reading (29%) than in maths or writing (both 7%), suggesting reading is a relative strength.
