30th 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 4,199 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.5/10 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 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Allesley Primary School
Overview
Allesley Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "warm, inclusive and welcoming" environment where pupils are "very happy" and proud of their community. Leaders have designed a curriculum with "significant ambition for all pupils," resulting in high achievement, particularly in subjects like art and mathematics, where students demonstrate confidence and fluency.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well-thought-out" with a clear focus on core knowledge, enabling pupils to achieve very well.
- Teachers are "highly skilled in checking pupils’ understanding," rapidly identifying and correcting misconceptions.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have their needs "accurately identified" and achieve very well due to effective support.
- The school fosters a "happy and inclusive culture" with high behavioural expectations that pupils consistently meet.
- Leaders maintain "extensive liaison with parents and carers," ensuring strong community engagement.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure the phonics curriculum is "delivered effectively across the school" to address variability where some pupils are less secure on sounds.
- Leaders need to continue developing strategies to improve attendance, as some pupils, "especially disadvantaged pupils," are absent too often and miss important learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
