98th 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 3,839 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.7/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Newburgh Primary School
Overview
Newburgh Primary School is described as a "friendly and nurturing" environment where pupils are "happy and settled" and "keen to come to school." Leaders maintain "high expectations for all pupils," resulting in a broad curriculum and strong personal development, though inconsistencies in teaching implementation affect some learners.
Strengths
- Pupils are "respectful, well-mannered, polite and courteous," embodying the school’s 'NEWBURGH' values.
- The curriculum is "broad and ambitious," with a strong focus on reading; the relaunched phonics programme has had a "positive impact on improving pupils’ progress."
- There are "effective systems to identify pupils with SEND," and staff work well with professionals to support disadvantaged pupils.
- Leaders have designed a "well-structured personal, social, relationships and health education programme," ensuring pupils understand how to keep themselves safe.
- Governors "understand their statutory duties thoroughly" and hold leaders to account effectively.
Areas to improve
- The implementation of agreed teaching strategies is "not consistently applied in all subjects," which "slows their learning" for some pupils.
- Current support strategies for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND do not always allow them to "gain the most from the curriculum."
- Some subject leaders lack an "accurate picture of how well the curriculum is implemented," leading to variability in learning delivery.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
