Check the area around this school
57th 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 — 1.8/10 against 2,104 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 41% | 0.98 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.76 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 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 Templars Primary School
Overview
Templars Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are happy, polite, and respectful. Leaders have built a broad, well-structured curriculum that helps pupils acquire important knowledge across subjects, supported by effective teaching and a calm atmosphere.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy a "very calm and purposeful atmosphere" and feel safe, with bullying dealt with effectively.
- The curriculum is "well planned" and sequential, helping pupils build knowledge over time in subjects like mathematics and history.
- Reading is given high priority; pupils read with "greater confidence and fluency," and those falling behind receive good support.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities have "full access to the curriculum" and are well supported to succeed.
- Governors provide clear strategic direction, and leaders have effectively reduced staff workload through improved schemes of work.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, key knowledge is "not always made memorable enough for all pupils," meaning they do not always remember key information over time. Leaders should ensure teachers share this knowledge in a memorable way to aid long-term recall.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a strong culture where staff are well trained, identify those needing early help, and work closely with external agencies.
