8th 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 2,280 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.8/10 among them, against 7.4/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| 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 Grange Farm Primary School
Overview
Grange Farm Primary School is described as a "friendly and improved school" where pupils demonstrate "respect, responsibility and resilience." The report confirms that the school continues to be good, highlighting positive pupil behaviour, high attendance, and a renewed curriculum that offers increased challenge.
Strengths
- Pupils behave very well, acting with "considerable courtesy and respect" and understanding embedded expectations.
- Reading is taught well, with staff using regular assessments to ensure books are "well matched to their phonics stage."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities have their needs "accurately identified" and benefit from learning alongside peers.
- The curriculum for personal, social, health and economic education is "comprehensive" and enriched by trips and visitors.
- Governors hold leaders to account supportively, and staff appreciate that leaders are "mindful of their workload."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure consistent delivery of the new curriculum across all foundation subjects to reduce variation in education quality.
- Learning activities in some foundation subjects need to be more precisely selected to help pupils "securely build on their knowledge and skills."
- Teachers require better skills in using assessment effectively to identify and address misconceptions, as it is not always used "precisely enough."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
