Bishop Ullathorne Catholic School
Coventry, CV3 6BH · Coventry · secondary school
4th of 22 secondary schools in Coventry we can score. 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 — 9.0/10 against 906 of them, against 8.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 56.7 · 77 | 30% | 2.32 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.52 · 84 | 25% | 2.11 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 52.9 · 80 | 10% | 0.80 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. The school was rated Good by Ofsted in April 2024. In 2024/25, 56.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 52.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.52 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the IntoUniversity Buddy Programme and Warwickshire Schools Book Club Awards. Sports include dodgeball, wheelchair tennis, and dry ski slope training. Arts activities involve visits to theatres. Trips include Paris, Ypres, and residential retreats to Alton Castle.
Getting in. There are 1137 pupils in a school with 1272 places, leaving 135 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils’ progress in English and maths to maintain results above the national median? What specific support is available for pupils who need extra help in core subjects? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining a fairly full cohort?
