44th 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 the 3,927 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Coundon Primary School
Overview
Coundon Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school is described as an inclusive environment where core values of kindness, respect, responsibility, and resilience are evident, and pupils’ best interests are central to decision-making.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy a nurturing environment and behave well, showing kindness and courtesy to each other and staff.
- The early years provision is calm and inviting, helping children quickly learn daily routines and build independence.

Areas to improve
