17th 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 4,250 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.7/10 among them, against 6.2/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Ernesford Grange Primary School
Overview
Ernesford Grange Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are happy, kind, and proud of their community. The inspection confirms that staff know pupils well, behaviour is exemplary, and the curriculum is ambitious, particularly in early reading, phonics, and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils display "exemplary" behaviour and have "positive attitudes to their learning," feeling safe and supported by adults.
- The teaching of phonics and mathematics is "particularly strong," with most pupils becoming "fluent and confident readers by the end of Year 1."
- Staff identify pupils’ needs quickly, ensuring those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "fully supported."
- The school offers a "wide range of sporting and non-sporting activities," including the popular 'skills academy' enrichment programme.
- Governors hold the school to account effectively, and staff value the support provided for their workload and well-being.
Areas to improve
- The implementation of the intended curriculum is "not yet consistent across all subjects," meaning pupils in some areas do not build on previous learning as well as they could.
- In some subjects, curriculum expectations are "less demanding" and key knowledge is less clear, preventing pupils from demonstrating their full ability or discussing their learning in depth.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
