Croft Junior School
Nuneaton, CV10 8ER · Warwickshire · primary school
130th of 162 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 197 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 — 1.5/10 against 2,357 of them, against 1.7/10 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% | 0.84 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
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%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. 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 (1.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.7 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Drama, Chess, and School Council clubs, participate in Bikeability, swimming, and Forest School, and learn drums or piano. They attend theatre trips, museums, and a Year 5 residential. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 353 pupils in a capacity of 360, leaving 7 spare places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What provision exists for children needing care after the school day ends? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 7 places remaining?
