Check the area around this school
4th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.3/10 against 3,899 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 62% | 4.78 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 36.0 · 99 | 38% | 3.82 |
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 Ettington CofE Primary School
Overview
Ettington CofE Primary School is described as a successful institution that “puts pupils at the heart of all it does,” guided by the values of “trust, respect and love.” Pupils achieve very well, demonstrating “exceptional” behaviour and high-quality character development, though the school faces challenges in precisely defining curriculum knowledge and assessing pupil understanding.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit “exceptional” behaviour, being “polite and courteous at all times” with “excellent attitudes in lessons.”
- The curriculum is “intelligently considered,” with staff knowing pupils as individuals and providing prompt, skilled support for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Early years provision offers a “language-rich environment” where children quickly become “problem solvers” and show “good resilience.”
- Reading progress is strong, with Reception children showing an “impressive understanding of phonics” and achieving considerably higher than the national standard by Year 6.
- Leaders and governors have a “secure understanding” of the school’s strengths, fostering a “happy, cohesive and highly effective team.”
Areas to improve
- The school must identify the “key knowledge that is vital for future success” in subjects where essential knowledge has not been clarified.
- An agreed system for checking pupils’ ongoing understanding must be developed to address “key gaps in pupils’ understanding” without delay.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
