Check the area around this school
53rd 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.1/10 against 2,080 of them, against 5.8/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 40% | 2.51 |
| 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 Bishopton Primary School
Overview
Bishopton Primary School continues to be a good school where pupils are "genuinely welcomed" and feel safe. Leaders have designed an engaging curriculum with books at its heart, helping pupils develop into "confident and fluent readers" with a strong understanding of vocabulary. While most pupils behave well and achieve well, there are inconsistencies in how some subjects are taught and gaps in writing accuracy.
Strengths
- Pupils are happy, feel safe, and talk enthusiastically about the "variety of opportunities on offer," including music, sport, and community roles.
- The curriculum is engaging, with a strong focus on reading and phonics that helps pupils gain a "good understanding of a wide range of vocabulary."
- Staff have high expectations and provide effective support for pupils who find learning difficult, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Leaders have created a "strong culture of safeguarding" where staff are well-trained to recognise risks and respond swiftly to concerns.
- Staff feel valued, and leaders actively consider workload, making changes where possible to reduce it.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not finalised the key knowledge, meaning work given to pupils does not always help them learn "what is most important."
- Pupils’ use of punctuation in their writing across the curriculum "lacks accuracy," preventing their writing from being as good as it could be.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture prioritising pupils’ safety and well-being, well-organised reporting systems, and swift responses to potential issues.
