Richard Lee Primary School
Coventry, CV2 5FU · Coventry · primary school
68th 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 — 3.7/10 against 2,823 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 1 | 35% | 0.03 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in January 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (3.7 out of 10 either way).
Getting in. The school has 406 pupils in a building with 489 places, leaving 83 spare spots. This means there is real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than the school is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to raise attainment from 53.0% to the national median of 64%? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the smaller class sizes resulting from the 83 spare places affect individual pupil support?
