63rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.0/10 against 1,740 of them, against 1.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 44.0 · 12 | 40% | 0.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Edgewick Community Primary School
Overview
Edgewick Community Primary School provides a “stimulating and caring environment” where pupils from diverse backgrounds, including many new to the country, settle quickly and thrive. Leaders maintain high expectations, delivering an “ambitious curriculum” that is well structured to prepare pupils for secondary education, resulting in a calm atmosphere where pupils behave well and feel safe.
Strengths
- Staff provide “very effective” support for pupils with little or no English, helping them become independent learners rapidly.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is “very effective,” with early identification and adapted teaching ensuring full curriculum access.
- The curriculum is coherent and engaging, with strong focuses on vocabulary, local history, and problem-solving in mathematics.
- Leaders prioritise reading, implementing an “effective phonics scheme” that sees an increasing number of pupils become fluent readers in Years 1 and 2.
- The governing body provides “effective challenge and support,” while leaders are mindful of staff workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders must develop “consistent and precise” approaches to identify gaps in pupils’ knowledge, as learning does not always build effectively on prior knowledge, making subsequent work too challenging.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with leaders ensuring staff receive necessary training, acting swiftly to protect at-risk pupils, and working well with families and external agencies.
