Check the area around this school
135th 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 3,328 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.2/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 62% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 Marie's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Marie’s Catholic Primary School is described as a place where “pupils are happy and enjoy school” and “feel safe.” The report highlights a “relentless drive to improve” since joining its multi-academy trust, resulting in “good” judgements across all key areas, including the quality of education and leadership. Historically low outcomes are improving, with mathematics now identified as a particular strength.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “good” behaviour, being “polite and kind” in a “calm and orderly” environment.
- Mathematics teaching is effective, with teachers who “explain concepts clearly” and “model learning effectively.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “well supported” and “achieve well” alongside peers.
- Attendance has improved through “effective systems” and strong engagement with families.
- Personal development is robust, with pupils knowing how to stay safe and understanding their heritage.
Areas to improve
- In some foundation subjects, “key knowledge is not yet clearly identified or sequenced,” leading to gaps in pupils’ understanding.
- The school must refine the wider curriculum to ensure it identifies “the precise knowledge that it wants pupils to have and in what order.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
