Parkgate Primary School
Coventry, CV6 4GF · Coventry · primary school
29th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.8/10 against 2,387 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for Minecraft, Apple Apps, CARGO CONNECT, Sphero Coding, KS1 Art, Spanish, and Gardening. Sports include Streetdance, Climbing and Adventure Games, Boogie Bounce, and Sky Blues Football. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 701 pupils in a building with 630 places, meaning it is over capacity by 71. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 71 more pupils than its stated capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? How does the after-school club integrate with the main curriculum?
