Grace Academy Coventry
Coventry, CV2 2RH · Coventry · secondary school
11th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.5/10 against 434 of them, against 4.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 29.1 · 15 | 30% | 0.45 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.31 · 73 | 25% | 1.83 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 43.2 · 36 | 10% | 0.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 29.1% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 43.2, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.31 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.1 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2024.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Student Council, and various leadership roles. Sports include Danish Longball and Mini Olympics, while arts features choir, BSL, spoken word, and The Lion King. Trips include London, Wicked in the West End, Twycross Zoo, Blackpool, and Manchester Revolution.
Getting in. The school has 1022 pupils in a capacity of 1144 places, leaving 122 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils’ progress in English and maths given the attainment gap? What specific support is available for students aiming for the Duke of Edinburgh Award? How does the school manage the transition for new students joining a fairly full cohort?
