Flyford Flavell Primary School
similar schools
Flyford Flavell Primary School is a council school in Worcester for boys and girls aged 5 to 11. It has 113 pupils, 1 more than it has places for. About 4 in every 100 pupils come from a low-income family, far fewer than at most schools in England. We give it 86 out of 100. That puts it well above schools like it, ahead of 64% of the 50 schools most like it. Ofsted's last grade was good, back in 2021.

What Ofsted found
A shorter visit on 30 November 2021 found nothing to change the school's grade. Read the report on Ofsted's website.
Good overall. A shorter follow-up visit found nothing to change that. The last full inspection was before September 2019, which is as far back as Ofsted's public records go, so we can't show its date or the grades for each area.
This inspection is more than 4 years old. When Ofsted next visits, the school will get a report card instead of one grade.
Results
Year 6 results (SATs), summer 2025
17 children took the tests. Here is how they did against every state primary in England. With a year group this small, a couple of children can move the percentages a long way.

There are no progress figures for 2025. That year group missed their Year 2 tests during Covid, so there was no starting point to measure from. Progress figures come back with the December 2026 results. Tests were cancelled altogether in 2020 and 2021.
Getting a place
Admissions policy not published.
Fewer than one place in twenty is empty, so in most years more families apply than there are places. Living close by, or already having a child here, makes a real difference. Pupil numbers have stayed about the same since 2021/22.
The last child to get a place lived 3.4 miles away in 2026, 2.7 miles away in 2025, 4.0 miles away in 2024. Those cut-offs are for children living outside the catchment area; every child inside it got a place. Brothers and sisters of current pupils and other priority groups are placed first. Type in your postcode to see how far away you are.
We measure in a straight line from the middle of your postcode to the school. The council measures its own way, and the cut-off changes every year. Use this as a rough guide, and read the council's admissions booklet before you apply.
How places were given out for September 2026. Every child in the catchment area who applied got a place. Outside the catchment, the last place went to a child living 3.4 miles away.
| Entry | Places | How far the last child lived | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 Primary | 15 | 3.4 miles (distance, outside the catchment area) | LA |
| 2025 Primary | 15 | 2.7 miles (distance, outside the catchment area) | LA |
| 2024 Primary | 15 | 4.0 miles (distance, outside the catchment area) | LA |

| 2022 Primary | 15 | – all offered | LA |
| 2021 Primary | 22 | – all offered | LA |
| 2020 Primary | 22 | – all offered | LA |
The distances are the council's own, usually measured in a straight line from home to the school gate. If the distance is getting shorter each year, the school is getting harder to get into. See which councils we have this data for.
Who goes here
Who a school teaches matters. That is why our score compares it with schools that take in a similar mix of children, not with every school in the country.
Infant classes (Reception to Year 2) average 14.7 pupils (England 25.5); junior classes (Years 3 to 6) average 17.3 (England 27.3).
The most common needs among pupils getting extra support: language and communications needs (11), Specific learning difficulty (3), Autistic spectrum disorder (2), emotional and mental health (1).

Staff and money
From the government's count of school staff in November 2025 and the school's published accounts.
Money
From the council school accounts, year to March 2025. The per-pupil figures are compared with other primary schools in England that report their accounts the same way.
Reserves are the money left over at the end of the year, kept back for emergencies and big projects. Being in the red year after year is a warning sign. Very large reserves can mean money sitting in the bank instead of being spent on today's pupils. Academy figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and include a share of any money the trust holds centrally.
The area around the school
Crime figures come from police.uk. The police record each crime at the nearest of a fixed set of map points rather than the exact spot, so “within 500 m” is only rough. House prices are from HM Land Registry sales nearby over the last two years.

Compared with schools like it
Our score compares Flyford Flavell Primary School with the 47 schools in England whose pupils are most like its own. We match on family income, how many children are learning English, special needs, the neighbourhood, the size of the school and how it admits pupils. Those 47 schools are dotted all over the country, so we don't list them. What matters is where this school sits among them.
How the score was worked out
The score is out of 100. A 86 means that once everything below is added up, this school comes out ahead of 86% of primary schools in England. Results bounce around from year to year, especially in small schools, so we also show a likely range: 66 to 95. That range is wide enough that the school could sit in the next band, so take the band as a rough guide rather than a verdict. Every part is judged against schools with a similar mix of pupils. For small schools we pull each part towards the group average, so one unusual year can't swing the score too far.

Questions parents ask
Is Flyford Flavell Primary School a good school?
Yes, going by the figures. Flyford Flavell Primary School scores 86 out of 100. That is well above schools that take in a similar mix of pupils, and ahead of 64% of the 50 schools most like it in England. The score could fairly be anywhere from 66 to 95, so a few points either way between schools doesn't mean much. Its results have been getting better over the last five years.
What is Flyford Flavell Primary School's Ofsted rating?

In summer 2025, 76% of Year 6 children reached the expected level in reading, writing and maths. Across England it was 63%. 24% went further and reached the higher level. The year group was small, so the percentages jump around a lot from year to year.

Yes. For September 2026 the last place went to a child living 3.4 miles away. Children in care, brothers and sisters of current pupils and other priority groups come before distance, so the cut-off moves every year.
