4th 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 2,587 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 8.1/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 42% | 3.64 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 32% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 26% | 1.84 |
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 Stivichall Primary School
Overview
Stivichall Primary School continues to be a good school, providing a "very well-rounded education in a secure and friendly environment." The report highlights that the whole school community understands leaders’ vision, which is summed up in a pledge to provide "100 varied learning experiences for each pupil." Parents are described as "unequivocally positive" about the school, and pupils are polite, enthusiastic, and proud of their achievements.
Strengths
- The curriculum plans are "impressive and extend beyond the national curriculum," including early modern foreign languages and a strong emphasis on the ‘character curriculum’.
- All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, "learn well" and receive effective support, with leaders making good use of specialist advice.
- Staff have fostered a "strongly collaborative culture" and taken effective steps to reduce staff workload and support welfare during the pandemic.
- Behaviour is "very orderly" with high attendance, and pupils report that there is no bullying and that staff quickly resolve any problems.
- Leaders have established effective safeguarding arrangements, ensuring staff are trained regularly and risks are identified promptly.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure consistency in curriculum delivery, as "in a small number of cases, the delivery of the curriculum does not quite match the very high quality of the planning."
- In phonics teaching, some staff do not always promptly identify pupils’ misconceptions; leaders must ensure the new validated programme is embedded in "consistently strong classroom practice."
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders fully aware of risks, staff regularly trained, and governors providing effective oversight.
