Rushwick CofE Primary School

School overview

Rushwick CofE Primary School is a primary school serving Worcestershire, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy with a Church of England religious character. It has 156 pupils aged 4 to 11 on roll. Ofsted rated the school 'Inadequate' in January 2026. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 68% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That is down 3.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 4% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 88% of the families who made Rushwick CofE Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 1.62 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 4.7%. There are about 15.1 pupils per teacher.
