40th 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 — 3.6/10 against 2,894 of them, against 3.8/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Augustine's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Augustine’s Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, described as “friendly” and “inclusive” where pupils from diverse backgrounds are welcomed. Leaders, staff, and governors are committed to ensuring every pupil receives the best possible education, with children enjoying school and behaving well. The report highlights a strong sense of community, with pupils looking out for one another and teachers being praised for their kindness.
Strengths
- Pupils are “polite and respectful,” listen carefully in lessons, and mix happily in the playground.
- Leaders have developed an “ambitious curriculum” that prepares pupils well for future education, including specific transition lessons for Year 6.
- Reading is prioritised, with events like author visits encouraging pupils to “love books and stories.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive “appropriate support” and make good progress.
- Staff feel “well supported” by leaders and are included in decision-making processes.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure all staff consistently use the school’s approach to teaching phonics to avoid inconsistencies that slow reading fluency.
- In a few subjects, curriculum intentions are not implemented consistently, leading to gaps in pupils’ understanding; leaders should ensure activities help pupils “know more and remember more.”
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and leaders working with external agencies to secure specialist support where needed.
