46th of 82 primary schools in Coventry we can score, 85 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 4,258 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.1/10 among them, against 4.0/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 62% | 2.85 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 Earlsdon Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as “happy, polite and feel safe,” with “positive attitudes to learning” and strong relationships with staff. The school delivers an “ambitious, well-structured curriculum” that incorporates local context and supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Inspectors judged the quality of education, behaviour, personal development, leadership, and early years provision as Good.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well, particularly in reading and mathematics, supported by a clear focus on early phonics and “high-quality texts.”
- Staff build “warm and trusting relationships” with pupils, fostering independence and cooperation from the early years.
- Personal development is extensive, with pupils taking on leadership roles and participating in international residential visits to develop resilience.
- The governing body provides an “effective balance of support and challenge,” while staff feel “appreciated and valued.”
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with a culture that puts pupils’ interests first.
Areas to improve
- Teachers in the early years and foundation subjects do not routinely check what pupils know, failing to identify knowledge gaps to inform future teaching.
- Individual learning plans for some pupils with SEND do not set out the “precise areas of difficulty” they need to overcome to achieve as well as they should.
- Too many pupils, especially disadvantaged pupils, are persistently absent, which negatively affects their achievement.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
