Check the area around this school
16th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.9/10 against 1,445 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Charter Academy
Overview
Charter Academy is a happy and inclusive school where pupils feel safe, respected, and keen to learn. The report highlights an ambitious curriculum and exceptional personal development, particularly through the school’s focus on oracy, which has transformed how pupils communicate and listen. While the overall effectiveness is rated as Good, the school excels in fostering resilience and independence among its students.
Strengths
- Pupils develop strong confidence, resilience, and independence, understanding that it is ‘okay to get things wrong’.
- The development of oracy is described as ‘exceptional’, helping pupils to ‘talk through talk’ and listen carefully.
- The curriculum is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Early years provision is strong, with children’s language development supported ‘exceptionally well’.
- Staff have created a ‘safe and respectful learning environment’ where pupils are kind and polite.
Areas to improve
- Assessment processes in some foundation subjects do not provide sufficient information for teachers to plan next steps effectively.
- Some teachers lack confidence in certain curriculum areas, resulting in teaching that is not always responsive to pupils’ immediate needs.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
