Check the area around this school
127th 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 4,158 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 2.0/10 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 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.74 |
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 Coughton CofE Primary School
Overview
Coughton CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by strong relationships and a caring environment where pupils feel safe and happy. Leaders and governors maintain a clear vision, delivering an ambitious and broad curriculum that extends well beyond academic lessons to include community links and diverse opportunities.
Strengths
- Pupils are described as “polite, kind and considerate,” with behaviour judged as good and bullying being “very rare.”
- Staff go “above and beyond” to support pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring full curriculum access.
- Reading has a “high profile,” with a consistent phonics approach allowing early years pupils to get off to a “flying start.”
- Mathematics teaching is “consistent and well thought out,” helping pupils become fluent in number facts and enjoy challenges.
- The curriculum is enhanced by trips, visitors, and local resources, such as the school’s allotment and visits to Coughton Court.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure essential subject-specific vocabulary is clearly identified and focused on in lessons, as some pupils currently miss key terms.
- Leaders need to clarify what pupils should know and remember in each subject over time to help staff accurately evaluate learning progress.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff are “tenacious in following up concerns” and pupils know they can share worries with trusted adults.
