Check the area around this school
26th of 37 secondary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 38 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 — 4.9/10 against 686 of them, against 3.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.84 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 36.1 · 28 | 30% | 0.83 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.0 · 50 | 25% | 1.26 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 41.8 · 28 | 10% | 0.27 |
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 Campion School
Overview
Campion School continues to be a good school, offering a "respectful and welcoming" community where pupils enjoy learning and take pride in their work. Leaders have designed a broad, well-ordered curriculum that supports academic success and allows for flexible subject choices, particularly during the transition in Year 9.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "calm but sociable atmosphere" with high expectations for behaviour that are consistently met.
- Teachers use "strong subject knowledge" to make learning clear, regularly checking understanding to close knowledge gaps.
- Careers education is described as "exceptional," effectively preparing pupils for their next steps in life.
- Leaders provide effective pastoral support and have acted on pupil feedback, such as installing more water coolers.
- Staff workload is managed considerately, and staff appreciate the leadership’s approach to introducing new ways of working.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must identify the specific reading skill gaps of weaker readers more precisely to ensure rapid progress and minimise disruption to other learning.
- Teachers need to consistently adapt teaching to meet the individual needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Older pupils require sufficient curriculum time for health and relationships education to develop a deep understanding of key topics.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders knowing pupils well, ensuring staff receive regular training, and responding swiftly to concerns.
