Check the area around this school
79th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.6/10 against 1,804 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Nursery Hill Primary School
Overview
Nursery Hill Primary School is described as a "warm and welcoming" environment where pupils feel "safe, happy and valued." The report highlights a strong sense of community, with staff and governors caring deeply for pupils and successfully navigating difficult times. Leaders have established a diverse curriculum and effective reading strategies, resulting in an improving picture for current pupils despite previous below-average outcomes.
Strengths
- Pupils are "caring and considerate," with bullying being "very rare" and quickly resolved when it occurs.
- Leaders’ work to help children read has been "particularly successful," fostering a "love of reading" across the school.
- The curriculum is "diverse and well-structured," with clear knowledge outlines from early years to Year 6.
- Staff provide "timely and specific support" for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they access the same curriculum as peers.
- Early years provision is effective, with children building knowledge across all areas and being "ready to move into Year 1."
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure all staff "constantly reinforce" behavioural expectations, as inconsistent reinforcement means some pupils’ behaviour interrupts learning.
- Leaders should continue to develop the delivery of the mathematics curriculum, as teachers are not yet "constantly implementing the scheme as it is intended," leading to gaps in pupil retention.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong safeguarding culture" and effective systems for reporting concerns and working with local agencies.
