Check the area around this school
161st 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 — 0.9/10 against 153 of them, against 0.5/10 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 | 27.0 · 2 | 62% | 0.12 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Salford Priors CofE Academy
Overview
Salford Priors CofE Academy is described as a small school at the heart of its rural community where pupils feel safe in a "nurturing environment." The report highlights that relationships between pupils and staff are "warm and positive," with pupils proud of their school and eager to learn. Outcomes are improving, supported by an ambitious curriculum and high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious for all" and "carefully orders the important knowledge," building learning progressively from early years to Year 6.
- Staff explain key information clearly, check understanding carefully, and address misconceptions, helping pupils "retain important knowledge."
- Phonics are delivered well by trained staff, with regular checks ensuring pupils at risk of falling behind receive support.
- Pupils with SEND benefit from "bespoke support" and adaptations, with most achieving well due to staff understanding their specific needs.
- A "rich range of wider opportunities," including extra-curricular clubs and trips, helps pupils broaden their horizons and develop leadership skills.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure the new curriculum is embedded in subjects where content changes are recent, so pupils learn intended knowledge consistently.
- Strategies should be amended if necessary to help a small number of pupils who find it hard to meet behaviour expectations and are missing key learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
