About Rushwick CofE Primary School

Rushwick CofE Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit well above the Worcestershire local authority average for primary schools, with 71% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against an LA average of 61%. That ten-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places Rushwick in the top quarter of primary schools nationally by this metric. The school also performs strongly at the higher standard: 10% of pupils hit the top marks across all three subjects, while 57% did so in reading alone. Maths and writing higher-standard scores are lower, at 33% and 19% respectively, but the average scaled scores of 106 in maths and 108 in reading are solid. These outcomes are particularly striking given the school’s overall Ofsted rating of Inadequate from its 2022 inspection, which suggests a disconnect between academic performance and the quality of leadership and management, both of which were also graded Inadequate.
