Check the area around this school
88th 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 3,831 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.4/10 among them, against 3.9/10 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 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Curdworth Primary School
Overview
Curdworth Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "warm, welcoming and inclusive" environment where pupils are "happy and feel safe." Leaders and staff maintain high expectations, fostering a culture where pupils are "polite, confident and mature" and take responsibility for their own behaviour. The school’s ethos of providing "big opportunities" is evident through community engagement and leadership roles for older pupils.
Strengths
- The curriculum in core subjects is well-designed, with knowledge broken down into smaller steps that build securely over time.
- Reading is central to the curriculum, with skilled staff providing swift support for those falling behind, ensuring pupils read successfully.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are identified quickly and thrive in an inclusive environment.
- Staff morale is high, with leaders actively considering staff well-being and workload.
- Behaviour management is systematic and consistent, resulting in rare disruption and pupils who understand school rules.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should review the curriculum design in foundation subjects to clearly set out the smaller components of knowledge and their sequence.
- Leaders should provide further training to develop teachers’ subject knowledge in areas where it is currently weaker, ensuring deeper pupil learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, supported by a strong culture where staff receive frequent training and are tenacious in securing appropriate support for pupils at risk.
