Check the area around this school
97th 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 4,305 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.0/10 among them, against 4.2/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 62% | 3.32 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 38% | 0.92 |
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 Dunchurch Boughton Church of England Junior Academy
Overview
This is a school with "high ambition" where pupils "meet those expectations" and "enjoy learning". The report highlights a "well sequenced, highly ambitious curriculum" that helps pupils "know more and remember more", alongside strong relationships characterised by "kindness and empathy". Despite "significant turbulence in leadership" since the last inspection, the school now has a "strong vision" and effective safeguarding arrangements.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "well sequenced" and "highly ambitious", with clear key knowledge and vocabulary that helps pupils build on prior learning.
- Reading is a clear priority; "phonics is carefully planned" and pupils encounter "interesting and engaging books", resulting in "strong" outcomes.
- Staff "identify and support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively", ensuring most learn the same curriculum as their peers.
- Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes, "applaud and celebrate the success of others", and benefit from varied enrichment opportunities like opera and cross-country.
- Safeguarding arrangements are "effective", and pupils "trust adults" with worries, feeling "safe at school".
Areas to improve
- The revised behaviour policy is "not consistently applied by all staff", meaning a small minority of pupils do not always meet high expectations; the school must ensure consistent application.
- Past leadership turbulence has limited communication with parents, causing anxiety; the school should establish "effective ways of communicating" with the community, particularly parents of children with SEND.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
