Check the area around this school
37th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.8/10 against 3,673 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 62% | 2.68 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 31.0 · 98 | 38% | 3.78 |
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 The Dassett CofE Primary School
Overview
Pupils are described as happy, with positive relationships and high standards of behaviour expected. However, the curriculum is not yet fully established across all subjects, meaning pupils do not consistently consolidate learning or build knowledge over time, which limits achievement.
Strengths
- Pupils enjoy a wide range of opportunities, including sports clubs, craft, singing, science, dance, and educational visits.
- Relationships are positive; pupils are considerate, share equipment, and trust adults to deal with concerns.
- Reading is a priority; staff quickly identify when pupils fall behind and provide support, leading to improved outcomes.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported, with teaching carefully adapted to meet individual needs.
- Personal development is strong, with pupils practising leadership skills and demonstrating tolerance and acceptance of other faiths and cultures.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure the curriculum is equally well considered across all subjects so that the knowledge to be taught is clearly defined, preventing pupils from being held back.
- Leaders should ensure high expectations for pupils’ behaviour are realised by all staff, so that poor behaviour is challenged consistently and does not disrupt learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
