60th 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 2,933 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.0/10 among them, against 1.6/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.42 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Keresley Grange Primary School
Overview
Keresley Grange Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a school where pupils feel “safe, listened to and appreciated,” with strong behaviour and attendance underpinned by clear values. While safeguarding is effective and reading provision is well established, the inspection highlights inconsistencies in curriculum delivery that hinder some pupils’ progress.
Strengths
- Pupils “settle quickly into school life” and “talk positively about learning new things,” demonstrating high engagement.
- The school’s values of “respect ourselves, respect each other and respect the school” are “well understood and demonstrated by everyone.”
- Systems effectively identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring support is “carefully and sensitively put in place.”
- The reading curriculum is “well established,” with effective phonics teaching and targeted catch-up lessons helping pupils rapidly improve fluency.
- Staff work hard to uncover pupils’ “personal talents and ambitions,” offering opportunities to develop creative, musical, and sporting skills.
Areas to improve
- The teaching of some curriculum aspects is inconsistent, causing some pupils to “lose focus in lessons and do not achieve as well as they should.”
- Teachers do not consistently identify errors in pupils’ writing or handwriting, meaning pupils do not always receive the guidance needed to improve.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
