27th of 82 primary schools in Coventry we can score, 85 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,009 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 65.0 · 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about All Souls' Catholic Primary School
Overview
All Souls’ Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a warm, family-like atmosphere where pupils feel safe and behave well. The curriculum is generally well sequenced with strong subject-specific vocabulary, and effective support ensures pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities achieve well.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy attending and describe the school as being "like a family," with older pupils caring for younger ones and bullying being rare.
- The curriculum is "well sequenced across all subject areas," with subject-specific vocabulary identified as a "particular strength."
- Effective improvements in mathematics have been made, including regular revisiting of prior learning through daily "Take 5" questions.
- Reading skills are well supported, with pupils who fall behind in phonics identified quickly and helped to "catch up and achieve extremely well."
- Staff accurately implement support for pupils with SEND, ensuring they "achieve well" through clear systems and effective training.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, recently revised curriculum changes are at an "early stage of becoming embedded," leading to some gaps in pupils’ knowledge.
- Assessment is not used effectively in a small number of foundation subjects, meaning teachers do not always know where there are gaps in pupils’ understanding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
