Check the area around this school
20th of 37 secondary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 38 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.4/10 against 595 of them, against 4.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 53.0 · 69 | 46% | 3.19 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.48 · 17 | 38% | 0.64 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 45.5 · 47 | 15% | 0.72 |
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 Ash Green School
Overview
Ash Green School has moved from a previous 'Inadequate' rating, with inspectors noting it "no longer requires significant improvement." The school fosters a "clear inclusive ethos" where pupils feel "safe and happy" within a "calm and orderly" atmosphere. While behaviour, personal development, and leadership are rated 'Good', the quality of education is judged as 'Requires improvement' due to inconsistent curriculum delivery and persistent learning gaps for some pupils.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "clear inclusive ethos that promotes tolerance and respect" and positive relationships with staff.
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and follows a "logical order," helping pupils make links between topics and remember more.
- Vulnerable pupils, including those with SEND and disadvantaged backgrounds, are "prioritised in lessons" with effective support strategies.
- Sixth-form students are "well supported" and appreciate their "seven-year journey" approach to learning.
- Leaders have created an "open and respectful" culture, with robust processes improving attendance and behaviour.
Areas to improve
- Staff must deliver the curriculum "consistently" to ensure sustainable improvement in pupil achievements, particularly for disadvantaged pupils.
- Assessment practices need strengthening so staff effectively check what pupils "know and remember" before moving on.
- Support is required for the small number of pupils who struggle to meet high behaviour expectations, preventing them from missing valuable learning time.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
