22nd 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 4,194 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 92 | 35% | 3.22 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 14.0 · 81 | 25% | 2.03 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Cawston Grange Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. The school outperformed the national median of 7% for the higher standard, with 14.0% achieving it. An Ofsted inspection in March 2026 assessed the school under the new framework, which grades areas separately without an overall rating. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.3 out of 10 among them, against 6.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom
Pupils access instrument lessons and attend trips to Young Voices, West End theatre productions, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Silverstone, and the National Space Centre. Residential learning experiences are also offered. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available for wraparound care.
Getting in
The published school roll is 442 pupils against a stated capacity of 436. 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.
