Check the area around this school
33rd 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 3,836 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.4/10 among them, against 7.3/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| 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 Cubbington CofE Primary School
Overview
Cubbington CofE Primary School is described as a “happy, safe and fun place to be” where pupils are “polite and courteous” and strive to live out the school motto. The report highlights an “ambitious” curriculum that sets high academic standards, with staff who are “well trained to teach reading” and provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “carefully structured and sequenced” so that learning builds on prior knowledge, with teachers explaining concepts “thoughtfully and clearly”.
- Reading is a priority; pupils “learn to read with confidence and accuracy” and receive “effective support to catch up quickly” if they fall behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their needs “identified and assessed quickly and accurately” and achieve well through appropriate adaptations and specialist support.
- Children in the early years “settle well into school life” and learn to be independent, taking turns and sharing with “dedicated adults”.
- Governors have a “firm understanding of the school’s work” and hold leaders to account, while staff report positive support for their workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- Staff do not “consistently check how well pupils are learning”, meaning some do not receive “swift enough support to improve their work” and consequently do not make the progress they could.
- The early years curriculum is not “clearly set out”, leading to a “lack of clarity on the important knowledge and skills children need for future success”.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
