Check the area around this school
113rd 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 3.6/10 against 1,010 of 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 40% | 0.96 |
| 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 Stockingford Academy
Overview
Stockingford Academy is a primary school where pupils "thrive in the caring environment" and "love their school." The report highlights a "well-sequenced, ambitious curriculum" and "warm, respectful relationships" between staff and pupils, noting significant improvement since the school became an academy.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "well-sequenced, ambitious curriculum" in core subjects, where teachers "check pupils’ learning" and provide targeted support.
- The provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a "real strength," featuring "bespoke support" and "highly personalised" plans.
- Reading is prioritised effectively, with staff trained in phonics ensuring pupils develop into "fluent and confident readers."
- Early years provision is strong, with "well-trained staff" fostering "motivation and curiosity" in Reception children.
- Leaders and staff are "united" and work with "positivity and purpose" to put pupils' needs first, supported effectively by the trust.
Areas to improve

- There are "limited opportunities" for pupils to broaden career aspirations and understand "fundamental British values."
- Some pupils remain "absent from school too often," missing important learning despite improved attendance strategies.
Safeguarding
