Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
3.4/10 Below average

119th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,308 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 5.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 55.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 18.0%. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9 out of 10 among them, against 5.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Board Games, Art, and Construction Clubs, or play Archery, Dodgeball, Basketball, and Multi-Sports. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 97 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 8 spare spots. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to bridge the gap between the 55.0% expected standard and the national median of 64%? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the 2024 inspection? How does the school manage the transition for the 8 remaining places as the cohort grows?
