Check the area around this school
92nd 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 — 4.1/10 against 2,689 of them, against 3.8/10 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 this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Newton Regis CofE Primary School
Overview
Newton Regis CofE Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes a ‘special community’ where pupils feel happy and safe, supported by ‘caring relationships’ with staff and peers. Leaders have redesigned the curriculum and improved attendance, ensuring pupils achieve well in reading and mathematics.
Strengths
- Pupils behave well in ‘calm and productive classrooms’ and are motivated to learn, earning rewards for positive conduct.
- Children in the early years ‘get off to a good start’, developing self-control and curiosity through outdoor exploration.
- Reading provision is strong; pupils read books matched to their phonics knowledge, with effective support for those falling behind.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are ‘well supported’ through staff training, environmental adaptations, and strong partnerships with parents.
- Attendance has improved significantly, with fewer pupils persistently absent, following effective collaboration with parents.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure all staff have the skills to support pupils in forming letters accurately, spelling, and punctuating sentences, as inconsistent support currently affects writing fluency.
- In some subjects with recent curriculum changes, pupils lack a ‘deep understanding of the subject-specific skills and knowledge’; the school should provide opportunities to apply and deepen this knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
