Mixed Primary Church of England
7.8/10 Above average

10th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 4,088 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.2/10 among them, against 7.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The report highlights "exceptional" personal development, with pupils demonstrating a mature understanding of global issues and British values. While the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership are rated as Good, the school’s impact on the community and pupil well-being is described as outstanding.

Strengths

  • Pupils exhibit "exceptional" personal development, showing maturity in discussing equality, fairness, and mental health.
  • Mathematics is taught well with a "consistent and exciting approach," leading to rising standards and confident learners.

  • Leaders are "ambitious for all pupils," including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who achieve well.

Areas to improve

  • The curriculum in some subjects is not "as coherently well organised" as others, leaving staff unclear about what to teach next.
