Check the area around this school
91st 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,308 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 1.8/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.88 |
| Ofsted | 90 | 35% | 3.17 |
| 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 Shustoke CofE Primary School
Overview
The inspection describes a school where leaders hold a firm belief that "every child can succeed," fostering a "nurturing, family focused and protective" environment. Pupils feel "known, valued and encouraged to do well," benefiting from strong pastoral care and inclusive practices that ensure all groups, including those with special educational needs, thrive.
Strengths
- Attendance is "above the national average" due to leaders’ "proactive approach" and close partnership with families.
- Behaviour is "calm, respectful and highly conducive to learning," with staff applying policies "fairly and consistently."
- Inclusion is a "highly effective and caring approach," with support "carefully matched to each child's needs."
- Governors play a "highly influential role," providing "robust challenge and meaningful support."
- Personal development is "thoughtful, caring and rooted in the shared values," helping pupils understand safety and relationships.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure "high-quality teaching approaches and expectations are used consistently across all year groups and subjects."
- Leaders should ensure "high-quality interactions in the early years consistently develop children's knowledge and vocabulary," as strategies are not yet used consistently.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing an "open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility" and concerns are "actively identified, acted upon and managed."
