45th 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 4,255 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1/10 among them, against 3.4/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Ravensdale Primary School
Overview
Ravensdale Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a calm and positive atmosphere where pupils feel happy and safe. Leaders maintain high expectations, fostering strong relationships of trust and a culture where pupils are proud of their achievements and resilient in their learning.
Strengths
- Pupils follow a “sequenced and ambitious curriculum” with careful consideration of key knowledge, particularly in core subjects like mathematics.
- Reading is a priority; phonics is “expertly taught” using a carefully sequenced programme, and staff quickly identify and support those needing extra help.
- Music is a significant strength, with “inspirational” teaching that goes beyond national curriculum requirements, including a large choir, orchestra, and band.
- Staff create a supportive environment for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), adapting teaching to ensure they make capable progress.
- Governors offer considerable expertise and support, while staff well-being and workload are managed effectively.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum for some foundation subjects does not fully meet the learning needs of all pupils, requiring further development to ensure work is suitably adapted.
- Some staff lack confidence in teaching the full curriculum, so the school must improve teaching consistency and develop staff knowledge across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
