Check the area around this school
108th 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 — 3.4/10 against 2,153 of them, against 3.0/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Our Lady and St Teresa's Catholic Primary School overview
How it's doing

The higher standard was reached by 5.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2025.

What Ofsted said about Our Lady and St Teresa's Catholic Primary School
Overview
The inspection confirms that the school has "taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection." Pupils are described as "happy and cheerful" who "take pride in their school" and feel safe within the community. The report highlights a positive culture where pupils work hard and benefit from high expectations, though some inconsistencies in teaching standards remain.
Strengths
- The early years curriculum provides a "secure start," with a strong emphasis on building vocabulary and ensuring children are "well prepared for the next stage of their learning."
- Reading is a "high priority," with phonics teaching identified as a strength; pupils who fall behind are "rapidly identified and skilfully helped to catch up."
- The curriculum is "carefully constructed" with a "clear sequence to learning," helping pupils to "know and remember more as they progress through school."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "quickly identified" and receive personalised support that allows them to study the same curriculum as their peers.
- Attendance has improved significantly, with pupils understanding that "any absence impacts negatively on their learning."
Areas to improve
- Teachers must ensure they have "consistently high expectations of all pupils," as occasionally low expectations mean some pupils are not producing their best work or learning key knowledge effectively.
- The school should ensure "attitudes to learning are good in all year groups," as poor attitudes in a few lessons sometimes disrupt learning for others.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
