72nd 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 2,880 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.9/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 8 | 35% | 0.30 |
| 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 Patrick's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School is described as a place where “love and care surround the pupils,” fostering a strong sense of community and belonging. While safeguarding standards are met and personal development is rated at a strong standard, the report identifies that curriculum and teaching require attention due to inconsistencies in addressing misconceptions.
Strengths
- Leaders have implemented a “carefully thought through and extensive curriculum for personal, social and health education (PSHE)” that ensures full inclusion for all pupils.
- Pupils “speak confidently about diversity” and discuss issues such as racism and sexism “in mature ways and with understanding.”
- Attendance is improving and is “at the national averages for all pupils,” supported by clear systems and positive relationships with families.
- The school has created a “warm and safe culture” where bullying is not tolerated and pupils feel secure.
- Inclusion is effective, with “suitable expertise to accurately identify pupils with special educational needs” and tailored support ensuring they progress well.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure teachers “consistently and effectively use checks on pupils' learning to address misconceptions” so that gaps in learning close quickly.
- Monitoring must be “tightly focused to consistently embed intended teaching approaches across the school,” as current checks are not always consistent.
Safeguarding
The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders establishing “an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed.”
