Check the area around this school
32nd 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 the 878 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5/10 among them, against 3.0/10 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 | 39.0 · 35 | 46% | 1.61 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.36 · 23 | 38% | 0.90 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 42.4 · 31 | 15% | 0.48 |
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 Aylesford School Warwick
Overview
Aylesford School Warwick is described as a place where "everyone is valued and included," with pupils understanding the school’s values of "ambition, resilience and kindness." While the quality of education, personal development, and leadership are rated Good, behaviour and attitudes require improvement, particularly in the secondary phase where some learning is disrupted. The report highlights that while the school is an "improving environment," inconsistencies in teaching and behaviour management remain challenges.
Strengths
- Pupils are "happy, feel safe and know who to talk to about any concerns."
- The early years provision is strong, with a "clear and delivered well" curriculum that enables children to "thrive."
- Sixth-form students are "positive about their learning experiences" and contribute significantly by mentoring younger pupils.
- The school prioritises personal development well, offering a "diverse" extra-curricular programme and effective PSHE curriculum.
- Leaders have implemented "significant and effective staffing changes" and designed a "highly ambitious curriculum" for all pupils, including those with SEND.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure teachers, especially in key stages 3 and 4, "check pupils’ learning well enough" and adapt teaching to address misconceptions.
- Expectations for behaviour need to be raised throughout the school community, as some secondary pupils "do not follow these expectations well enough" and staff do not tackle unkind behaviour consistently.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
