Check the area around this school
138th of 161 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 196 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 — 1.1/10 against 1,900 of them, against 1.2/10 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 | 46.0 · 14 | 40% | 0.55 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Henley-In-Arden CofE Primary School
Overview
The inspection found that pupils are “proud to belong to this truly inclusive school” where they feel “safe and happy and to thrive.” Leaders have reinvigorated learning, resulting in a “real buzz in the classrooms” and pupils who are “enthusiastic learners.” The school maintains a strong focus on personal development, with staff demonstrating “genuine interest and care” that fosters respectful relationships and high attendance.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “broad” and successfully meets the needs of pupils in mixed-age classes, with learning building effectively on previous knowledge.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities “achieve well” due to targeted support, including the “expertly staffed, nurturing environment” of Tillman Lodge.
- Reading is a “high priority,” with effective support ensuring pupils develop into “confident readers” and maintain fluency.
- Behaviour is excellent, with pupils being “kind and considerate to each other” and enjoying leadership opportunities such as the school council.
- Leaders are “highly aspirational” and keep pupils at the heart of decision-making, supported by well-informed governors and positive parental feedback.
Areas to improve
- Assessment is not always used effectively to check if pupils have remembered previous learning, allowing “misconceptions to persist” and leaving gaps in knowledge.
- Pupils lack sufficient opportunities to experience the “richness and diversity of different cultures in modern Britain” first hand, limiting their understanding of other faiths.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
