Check the area around this school
61st of 82 primary schools in Coventry we can score, 85 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,392 of them, against 3.5/10 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 | 58.0 · 35 | 40% | 1.39 |
| Ofsted | 13 | 35% | 0.45 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Broad Heath Community Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 58.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0%, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools). The school was inspected in January 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades areas separately without an overall grade.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils can join Chess, STEM for Sustainability, Recorder Club, Photography, Debate, Crochet, Fashion Design, and Choir. Sports include Tennis, Running, Basketball, and Cricket. An after-school club is available.
Getting in
The published school roll is 683 pupils against a stated capacity of 630. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

Overview
Broad Heath Community Primary School is described as having a "highly inclusive and ambitious culture" where pupils feel a strong sense of belonging.

- Behaviour is "highly positive," with pupils acting with "kindness, respect, and empathy" and bullying being "exceptionally rare."

Areas to improve
