51st 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 4,169 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.9/10 among them, against 6.0/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 82.0 · 90 | 40% | 3.63 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
Burton Green Church of England Academy is confirmed as a “good school” following a Section 8 inspection. The report describes a “friendly, welcoming, small school” where pupils “thrive” and feel safe due to staff who “know pupils well and care about them.” Leaders maintain “high expectations” and have designed an “ambitious, broad and well structured” curriculum that prepares pupils well for their next educational stage.
Strengths

- Reading is a “key priority,” with phonics starting in Reception and targeted support ensuring pupils read with “fluency and enjoyment.”

Areas to improve

- Leaders should ensure that “key knowledge and skills pupils are expected to know and understand are set out clearly in all subjects” to help pupils securely recall content.
