Check the area around this school
100th 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 3,892 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.8/10 among them, against 3.5/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Milby Primary School
Overview
Milby Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils are described as happy and polite, enjoying a "calm and purposeful learning environment" where they are keen to learn. The school places a high priority on pastoral care, ensuring pupils feel safe and supported by a dedicated team.
Strengths
- The school has developed a "broad and ambitious curriculum" enriched with trips, outdoor learning, and visitors that help "bring learning to life".
- Teachers possess "strong subject knowledge" and present information clearly, enabling most pupils, including those with SEND, to achieve well.
- Reading is prioritised with a "well-sequenced phonics programme," and effective interventions help pupils who need additional support to improve fluency.
- Leaders and governors are "highly effective," providing skilled challenge and support, while staff are proud to work at the school.
- Pupils benefit from opportunities for responsibility, such as the school council and prefect roles, which help prepare them for "life in modern Britain".
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not consistently check pupils’ understanding within lessons, meaning opportunities to extend knowledge are lost and gaps are not addressed.
- On occasion, work given to pupils does not match their stage of learning, causing some to overly rely on adult support.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
