32nd 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 — 5.9/10 against 1,463 of them, against 4.6/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.40 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Stoke Heath Primary School
Overview
Stoke Heath Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils thrive in a welcoming environment described as having a ‘family feel’. The report highlights that pupils are kept safe, well cared for, and enjoy their learning, with staff responding appropriately to their needs and feelings.
Strengths
- Pupils achieve well across all subjects, benefiting from an ‘ambitious curriculum’ where teachers know ‘what to teach and when to teach it’.
- Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) learn well, receiving swift identification of barriers and tailored support such as simplified written information.
- The school prioritises reading, ensuring every pupil practises to become a fluent reader, with ‘swift action’ taken if any fall behind in phonics or early development.
- Staff well-being is supported through effective training and resources, meaning teachers are ‘not required to guess’ in their planning.
- Pupils’ horizons are broadened through the ‘SH60’ promise, celebrating diversity and ensuring discrimination is not tolerated.
Areas to improve
- Teachers must check more closely that pupils have remembered key skills and knowledge from previous learning to prevent gaps that may cause struggles with harder work.
Safeguarding
