51st 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 4,258 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.7/10 among them, against 2.8/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| 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 SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School
Overview
SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, where adults are ambitious for all pupils and set high expectations for behaviour. Pupils are described as "happy and safe," engaging well in learning within "busy and industrious" classrooms. The school fosters a positive environment where pupils are polite, kind, and strive to live by the rule "to be the person God wants you to be."
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and "carefully sequenced" in most subjects, allowing pupils to build on important knowledge and skills over time.
- Teachers possess strong subject knowledge and resources, presenting new learning in ways that "excite and engage pupils" while quickly clarifying misconceptions.
- Reading instruction is effective, with a "wide range of opportunities" promoting curiosity; pupils read "confidently, with fluency and accuracy."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "swiftly identified" and receive targeted support, enabling them to "achieve very well."
- Personal development is effective, with pupils broadening their interests through diverse experiences, such as visits to cultural sites and learning about healthy foods.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not "fully coherently planned," meaning pupils do not always securely build on prior learning.
- The school has not fully developed a "sharp focus on oracy" for Key Stage 1 pupils, who do not always have the skills to communicate effectively.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
