48th 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 the 3,927 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.3/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 40% | 1.18 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Strengths
- The school has made significant progress in reading, with staff delivering early reading "consistently well" and pupils developing a "love of reading."

Areas to improve
- In some subjects, the most important knowledge and skills are not always clear, leading to gaps in pupils' understanding because staff move on without checking comprehension.
- Assessment systems in some foundation subjects are not sufficiently informative to shape next steps in learning, requiring more focused and effective checks on what pupils know and remember.
Safeguarding
