39th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.8/10 against 1,876 of them, against 4.0/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Elizabeth’s Catholic Primary School is described as a happy place where pupils are proud and feel included, guided by strong Catholic values. The report highlights that pupils achieve well in most subjects and benefit from high-quality support, particularly in reading and for those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Personal development is "exceptional," with pupils developing into "responsible, respectful and active citizens."
- Staff are "well trained in identifying and supporting pupils with SEND," ensuring they access learning effectively.

- Governors and trustees "challenge school leaders constructively," while staff feel supported regarding workload and well-being.
- Attendance is above the national average, with very low numbers of pupils regularly missing school.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, learning is "not sequenced as well as it could be," leading to gaps in understanding key concepts.
- Assessment processes in some foundation subjects are not as strong, meaning staff do not always recognise what pupils have understood or remembered.

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
