I am considering 2 primary schools for DD: with regards to the percentage achieving Level 4 or above in both English and mathematics, they both score c. 80 %. They also both score under 10% for % of pupils with Level 3 or below in English.
But one gets an Ofsted rating of Satisfactory/requires improvement (main criticism being the teaching), and the other Outstanding.
The Satisfactory school is walking distance on the way home (down-hill!), 2-form entry and we would probably get to know neighbours who go there for play-dates.
The Outstanding school is a longer drive away, single form entry, a faith school sited in a village and we probably won?t know a soul.
I'd be interested to know which school you would put as first choice?
