Check the area around this school
5th 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 — 8.0/10 against 4,209 of them, against 8.2/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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 Manor Park Primary School
Overview
Manor Park Primary School is described as a "wonderfully warm, happy and welcoming place" where staff prioritise pupils’ best interests. The inspection confirms that the school continues to be a good school, with leaders having made "significant and sustained changes" to improve the quality of education.
Strengths
- Staff demonstrate "dedication, compassion and genuine care," helping pupils to "achieve academically and flourish as unique individuals."
- The curriculum is "expansive and diverse," including unique opportunities like 'Manor Park University' which helps pupils "broaden pupils’ horizons" and develop confidence.
- Reading is effectively prioritised as the "glue that binds the curriculum," with staff confidently delivering phonics and ensuring books are matched to pupils’ knowledge.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are expected to learn the same curriculum as peers, receiving "extra scaffolded support" to ensure they make progress.
- Behaviour is excellent, underpinned by the SOAR values, with staff intervening promptly to prevent bullying and ensuring pupils "attend happily."
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders have not "precisely identified the small building blocks of learning," meaning teachers lack clarity on specific knowledge pupils need to acquire.
- Consequently, some pupils cannot "link their ideas together," so leaders must ensure curriculum development identifies important knowledge to help pupils "secure the foundational knowledge they need."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders being "tenacious in following up" concerns and ensuring staff are well trained to identify risks.
