2.0/10 Well below average

153rd 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 — 3.1/10 against 1,726 of them, against 2.8/10 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 it's doing

What Ofsted said about Newbold and Tredington CofE Primary School

Inspection report dated 2 December 2025

Overview

The report describes a school where pupils feel safe and valued, with a "welcoming" environment and positive relationships. However, the inspection identifies that "inconsistencies in teaching limit pupils’ learning," resulting in many pupils having "gaps in their learning" and attainment remaining below national averages. Leaders have set improvement plans, but progress has been "too slow" and actions have not yet had the "intended impact."

Strengths

  • The early years provision offers a "calm, welcoming environment" where children settle quickly and develop independence.
  • Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are actively identified and managed.
  • Pupils benefit from a "rich personal development programme" including enrichment opportunities like trips and clubs.
  • Staff provide a "caring environment" where new pupils and those with special educational needs settle quickly.
  • Bullying is "rare and dealt with effectively," and pupils know who to approach with worries.

Areas to improve

  • Leaders must ensure the teaching of phonics, reading, writing, and mathematics is "consistently effective" to close learning gaps.
  • Staff need support to apply high expectations for behaviour consistently and reduce "low-level disruption" in lessons.
  • Leaders should monitor the impact of attendance strategies more closely, particularly for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs.

Safeguarding

The report states that "safeguarding standards are met," noting that leaders have established an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and that "pupils are made safer and feel safe."
