Check the area around this school
142nd of 161 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 196 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 — 1.1/10 against 1,237 of them, against 1.2/10 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 | 45.0 · 13 | 40% | 0.51 |
| 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.
Rokeby Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 45.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 0.0%, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2023. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.2 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils join Rokeby Club, Eco-club, Librarians and School Council. They participate in the Arts Festival and Rokeby's Got Talent. Trips include visits to Mini Meadows Farm, Rainsbrook Valley Railway and Stage Coach Winter Wonderland. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

What Ofsted said about Rokeby Primary School
Overview
Rokeby Primary School is described as an inclusive environment where "pupils are flourishing" and feel safe. The report highlights positive relationships between staff and pupils, with leaders being "aspirational" and ensuring a wide range of enriching experiences through the ‘Rokeby Promise’.
Strengths
- Pupils "enjoy learning" and behave well, with staff responding swiftly to any bullying incidents.
- Reading is a "central feature" of the curriculum, with a phonics programme followed with "fidelity" and a strong promotion of a love of books.
- The curriculum is "well developed" and "ambitious," particularly in mathematics, allowing pupils to build on learning over time.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "actively included" in all aspects of school life, including visits, with staff adapting learning effectively.
- Early years provision is "stimulating" and "exciting," with a strong focus on spoken language and early mathematical learning.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should help teachers develop approaches to ensure pupils can consistently "remember the really important content over time" in foundation subjects.

Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and working closely with external agencies to support families.
