7.4/10 Above average

2nd 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 2,905 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.9/10 among them, against 8.6/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 80.0 · 88 40% 3.51
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 15.0 · 84 25% 2.09

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, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.9 out of 10 among them, against 8.6 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Chess and Pottery clubs, or participate in singing, dancing, creative arts, and music including brass, woodwind, keyboard, and guitar. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 472 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 52. This means places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 52 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the after-school club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
