Check the area around this school
80th 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 4,174 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.2/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Brookhurst Primary School
Overview
Brookhurst Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, achieve well against high expectations. The report highlights a carefully planned curriculum, effective teaching, and a strong emphasis on reading and pupil well-being, resulting in confident, well-rounded individuals.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "carefully planned" with knowledge organised to build over time, enriched by trips and visitors.
- Reading is "prioritised and promoted" using a "consistent, highly effective approach," ensuring almost all pupils read fluently by Year 6.

- Provision for pupils with SEND is "effective," with these pupils achieving well and receiving necessary support alongside peers.
Areas to improve
- The school should review how it communicates with parents, as some do not feel "well informed" about their children’s progress or the school’s wider work.
- The early years outdoor area is "in need of development" to provide more engaging opportunities for children to consolidate learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
