Check the area around this school
81st of 82 primary schools in Coventry we can score, 85 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 — 0.9/10 against 1,495 of them, against 1.1/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 62% | 0.65 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School
Overview
This is described as a “happy and inclusive school” where the ethos creates a “nurturing and ambitious environment.” Pupils achieve well by the end of Year 6 and benefit from a “broad and generally ambitious curriculum” that is well structured. However, “staffing instability” has led to inconsistencies in how the curriculum is delivered and how behaviour is managed.
Strengths
- Staff build “warm and caring relationships” in the early years, supporting a strong start for children.
- Reading is a high priority; staff consistently teach phonics, helping pupils to “read with confidence and success.”
- The school responds quickly to the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring they “achieve well in most subjects.”
- Attendance is treated as a priority, with robust procedures ensuring pupils “attend well” and fewer are persistently absent.
- Pupils engage in a “rich, personal development journey,” taking pride in leadership roles and contributing positively to the community.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure “effective oversight of curriculum implementation” so that teaching is consistently matched to pupils’ needs and tasks are sharply focused.
- The school should ensure that expectations for behaviour are “consistently applied by all staff” to prevent misbehaviour from distracting others from learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
