Finham Park School
Coventry, CV3 6EA · Coventry · secondary school
2nd of 22 secondary schools in Coventry we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 651 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5/10 among them, against 7.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 61.6 · 84 | 46% | 3.89 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.2 · 65 | 38% | 2.48 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 55.7 · 87 | 15% | 1.34 |
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, 61.6% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 55.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.2 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those starting from the same place nationally. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.5 out of 10 among them, against 7.7 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Art, Photography, Creative Writing, Chess, and Robotics. Sports cover football, netball, rugby, and badminton. Music groups include Finharmonic brass and woodwind, strings, and the Choir of Finham. Trips have included visits to Paris, Germany, Spain, and China, alongside a ski trip. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 1705 pupils in a capacity of 1750, leaving 45 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to maintain progress given the lower score in the similar-intake comparison? What specific support is available for students who need help catching up in English and maths? How does the after-school club operate for pupils who need care after the school day ends?
