Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2026 Inspected this year Mixed Primary Church of England
3.1/10 Below average

126th of 162 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 197 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 — 5.5/10 against 2,432 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.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 67.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils visit Kingsbury Water Park, Twycross Zoo, and The National Space Centre. The school offers neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 236 pupils in a building with 315 places, leaving 79 spare spots. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do class sizes impact individual attention given the current capacity?
