Check the area around this school
54th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.1/10 against 2,356 of them, against 2.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 51.0 · 21 | 40% | 0.83 |
| 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.
Corpus Christi Catholic School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 51.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 2.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023.

What Ofsted said about Corpus Christi Catholic School
Overview
Corpus Christi Catholic School continues to be a good school, fostering an inclusive community where pupils are "welcoming, happy and enthusiastic." The school’s mission to "open the hearts and minds" of all pupils underpins high expectations for behaviour and learning, supported by a creative curriculum and strong staff aspirations.
Strengths
- The early years curriculum is "exemplary," with a stimulating environment that enables children to be independent and sustain concentration.
- Reading is prioritised effectively; staff use "carefully selected books" matched to phonics knowledge, helping pupils become "fluent and confident readers."
- Staff identify key knowledge gaps and plan tasks to help pupils revisit prior learning, ensuring "no gaps in key knowledge" before moving on.
- The school provides effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), including a "mini hub" provision and practical equipment to ensure accessibility.
- Spiritual, moral and social development is strong, with many pupils undertaking leadership roles to "make a difference and be role models."
Areas to improve
- New foundation subject leaders require further training and support from the trust to develop the "confidence and expertise in monitoring and improving their subject."
- Strategies for younger pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs are not yet effective enough; the school must embed consistent support to help them "regulate their emotions and behaviour" and access the curriculum.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
