120th 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 the 4,107 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 2.5/10 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 | 40.0 · 8 | 40% | 0.32 |
| 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 Bournebrook CofE Primary School
Overview
Bournebrook CofE Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a school where “The Bournebrook Way” permeates all aspects of life, fostering a “palpable sense of kindness and respect.” Pupils enjoy attending, feel safe, and achieve well, leaving with “secure foundations” for secondary education.
Strengths
- The curriculum is well-designed for mixed-age classes, enriched by cultural trips and a high focus on spoken language and vocabulary.
- Staff possess “strong” subject knowledge and provide clear explanations, while the phonics scheme is “delivered well” with timely interventions for those needing support.
- The school’s “inclusive, values-driven ethos” ensures pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive careful identification and clear support strategies.
- Character development is a strength, with pupils becoming “confident and articulate young people with high aspirations for their future.”
- Behaviour management is “very strong,” supported by consistent routines and a restorative approach that helps pupils “do better next time.”
Areas to improve
- Staff must ensure consistency in checking pupil understanding “in the moment,” as current methods vary in effectiveness and sometimes fail to address gaps or misconceptions promptly.
- Feedback provided to pupils does not always help them understand how to improve their work or deepen their understanding.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
