Check the area around this school
157th 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 — 1.5/10 against 1,567 of them, against 1.5/10 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 | 29.0 · 2 | 62% | 0.15 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Middlemarch School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 29.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 4.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.5 out of 10 either way).
Getting in

What Ofsted said about Middlemarch School
Overview
Middlemarch School is described as a “lively and vibrant” junior school where pupils from diverse backgrounds are warmly welcomed into an inclusive community. The inspection found that the school successfully fosters its vision that “as a family we achieve,” with pupils making good progress despite varying prior knowledge. Leaders and staff are supported effectively, creating a positive environment where most parents express satisfaction with the education provided.
Strengths
- The school effectively supports pupils with gaps in prior knowledge, particularly in English and mathematics, ensuring they “retain information in their memory over time.”
- Staff successfully adapt curriculum delivery for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those speaking English as an additional language (EAL).
- The phonics programme is effective, meeting the goal for Year 3 joiners to become fluent readers by the end of Year 4.
- Pupils display “positive attitudes to learning,” mixing happily and showing respect for one another in a “positive and joyful environment.”
- The curriculum prepares pupils for life in modern Britain, with students demonstrating a serious understanding of fundamental British values.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the essential knowledge pupils are expected to learn is not identified clearly enough, limiting teachers’ ability to check understanding.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough, which limits their learning; the school must provide further challenge and support for families.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
