151st 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 the 3,073 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.8/10 among them, against 2.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 62% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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 Temple Grafton CofE Primary School
Overview
Pupils describe the school as a “friendly place” where they “feel safe” and enjoy strong professional relationships with staff. The school has designed a “broad and ambitious curriculum” that is well sequenced, particularly in early years and reading, fostering resilience and independence. While most pupils demonstrate positive attitudes, the report notes inconsistencies in how learning is adapted for some groups and in maintaining high behavioural expectations across all lessons.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “sequenced well” to ensure pupils build knowledge over time, with particular success in mathematics fluency and scientific investigation.
- Reading is “at the heart of the curriculum,” with a “well-organised” phonics approach that ensures consistent teaching and accurate book matching.
- Children in the early years “settle quickly” and develop confidence through routines that match their abilities and interests.
- Pupils take on “meaningful leadership roles,” such as Year 6 ‘buddies’ and democratically elected school council members, to support the community.
- Trust leaders and governors “understand their roles well,” providing effective support and challenge to drive improvement.
Areas to improve
- Ensure the curriculum supports pupils to “consistently recall prior learning” across all subjects to deepen understanding.
- Adapt learning more precisely to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) so they can progress effectively.
- Maintain “constantly high” expectations for behaviour in all lessons to prevent low-level disruption from impacting learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
