Howes Community Primary School
Coventry, CV3 5EH · Coventry · primary school
65th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.6/10 against 2,392 of them, against 3.9/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.66 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. The school was rated Requires improvement by Ofsted in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Robotics, Lego Club, British Sign Language, Diamond Art Club, Bilinguasing, Knit and Natter, Boosters, and Homework Club. Sports include Girls and Boys Football, Sky Blues in the Community, and Football Training. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 182 pupils in a building with 180 places, meaning it is over capacity by 2. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific actions are being taken to address the Requires improvement rating? How do the wraparound clubs support pupils who need extra help with homework?
