Check the area around this school
62nd 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 — 1.3/10 against 1,964 of them, against 1.4/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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 St Anne's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school where leaders and staff demonstrate high expectations for all pupils. The report highlights a caring environment where pupils feel safe, behave well, and benefit from a curriculum that is “highly sophisticated” in some subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe and valued, with bullying described as “rare” and staff providing guidance “not just for school, but for life.”
- Early years provision is strong, with children in Nursery and Reception making a “strong start” through effective use of the learning environment and phonics.
- Curriculum design in subjects like history and mathematics is precise, enabling pupils to “build on their knowledge and understanding over time.”
- Leaders offer a wide range of opportunities, including free clubs and visits, ensuring all pupils, including those with SEND, can access the same learning.
- Relationships are positive, fostering respect and tolerance, with pupils showing “acceptance of differences.”
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure consistent strategies are used to support pupils in decoding unfamiliar words, as current inconsistencies “sometimes slow their progress in learning to read fluently.”
- The “highly sophisticated curriculum thinking” evident in some subjects needs to be extended to ensure planning and delivery are precise and effective across all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders prioritising safety, ensuring staff receive up-to-date training, and swiftly following up concerns.
