Check the area around this school
78th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.0/10 against 1,932 of them, against 1.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 23.0 · 1 | 62% | 0.08 |
| 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.
Stretton Church of England Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 23.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 3.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.2 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about Stretton Church of England Academy
Overview
This is a “friendly and extremely inclusive school” where pupils are “nurtured and well cared for.” While the school has made “positive improvements” in curriculum and attendance since new leaders arrived, inconsistencies in teaching quality and behaviour management mean some pupils lack the “depth of knowledge” required for future success.
Strengths
- The school provides a “wealth of trips, visitors and extra-curricular clubs” that help pupils develop talents and understand the world.
- Reading is a clear priority, with “careful checking” ensuring pupils who fall behind receive “extra help” to catch up quickly.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “well supported,” with staff who “know pupils’ needs well.”
- Attendance has improved significantly due to “robust procedures” and strong collaboration with families.
- Trustees and governors provide “effective support and challenge,” holding leaders to account while prioritising staff well-being.
Areas to improve
- The school must develop staff’s “subject and pedagogical knowledge” so learning activities consistently build on prior learning and help pupils retain important concepts.
- Adults must apply the behaviour policy “consistently” to address low-level disruption and ensure all pupils maintain focus on their learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
