Check the area around this school
70th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 2,740 of them, against 2.5/10 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.30 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Grangehurst Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. 2.0% reached the higher standard, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.5 out of 10 against all schools). The school was inspected in January 2026 under the new report-card framework, which grades each area separately and gives no overall grade.

What Ofsted said about Grangehurst Primary School
Overview
Grangehurst Primary School is described as a "warm, friendly and caring school" where pupils feel "known, safe and well looked after." While personal development and wellbeing are strengths, the report notes that some pupils do not achieve well enough in key aspects of mathematics and English, with outcomes lower than the national average.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "broad and ambitious enrichment programme" that builds confidence, character, and independence through activities like the ‘11 Before 11’ experiences.
- The school fosters a strong sense of belonging, with pupils showing "kindness and courtesy" and understanding respect, equality, and inclusion.
- Leaders have established an "open culture" for safeguarding where concerns are actively identified and managed, ensuring pupils feel safe.
- Attendance has improved and is now "broadly in line with that seen nationally," supported by prompt interventions and family partnerships.
- Inclusion is effective, with staff helping every pupil to "feel they belong and participate fully" through tailored support and clear routines.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should secure "greater consistency in teaching" so that gaps in pupils' knowledge are identified and addressed quickly.
- Leaders should strengthen "fluency and foundational knowledge in writing and mathematics" to help pupils cope with increasing curriculum demands.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively managed.
