Coventry, CV4 8DY · Coventry · secondary school
18th of 22 secondary schools in Coventry we can score. 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 — 4.8/10 against 668 of them, against 3.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 35.4 · 29 | 46% | 1.33 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.08 · 44 | 38% | 1.69 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.7 · 24 | 15% | 0.37 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall behind in English and maths given the attainment gap? What specific steps are taken to improve progress scores for students from similar backgrounds? How does the admissions process work when demand exceeds the 13 available spots?
