Check the area around this school
81st of 161 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 196 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 4.7/10 against 3,295 of them, against 4.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Bilton CofE Junior School
Overview
Bilton CofE Junior School continues to be a good school, fostering an inclusive community where pupils are "happy and safe" and feel there are "no outsiders". Staff model core values such as respect and kindness, creating an environment where pupils willingly take on responsibilities and persist when their work gets tricky.
Strengths
- Leaders have carefully sequenced the curriculum in subjects like mathematics and modern foreign languages, making it "crystal clear" to teachers what to teach and when.
- Staff act promptly on concerns, including potential bullying, guiding pupils to "talk and repair" to resolve issues effectively.
- Teachers adapt the curriculum and provide timely support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- The school offers a broad range of extra-curricular activities and visits that support curricular learning and "broaden their horizons".
- Staff are well trained in safeguarding, using reporting systems diligently to ensure pupils and families receive necessary help and support.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must clearly define the precise knowledge and small steps pupils need to learn in foundation subjects where this is currently a "work in progress".
- Leaders should ensure teachers understand prior knowledge from previous years to help pupils integrate new learning in a small number of subjects.
- Leaders must ensure all staff have a clear overview of the sounds pupils are working on in reading interventions to reinforce phonics in classroom learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders having developed a strong safeguarding culture where staff act swiftly to ensure pupils get the help they need.
