82 of 86 primary schools ranked by Met expected standard (RWM) · all Coventry schools · secondary schools

Ranked on Met expected standard (RWM), 2024/25 — the most recent year each school has published. Official data, not our opinion — but the ranking is only as good as the measure, and a single number never describes a school.

64 of 86 rated Good or Outstanding
8 oversubscribed on first preference
10 Good or better and undersubscribed — the overlooked ones
Median Met expected standard (RWM): 62.0% (best 86.0%)
