Check the area around this school
29th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.4/10 against 3,249 of them, against 7.7/10 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 | 89.0 · 97 | 40% | 3.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Warton Nethersole's CofE Primary School
Overview
Warton Nethersole’s CofE Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school is described as being “at the heart of its community,” where pupils are “happy, attend school well and are kind to one another.” Leaders and governors provide robust support, ensuring the school sustains its high standards in a “caring and nurturing” environment.
Strengths
- Staff form positive relationships with pupils, maintaining “high expectations” that pupils consistently rise to meet.
- The curriculum is “engaging and ambitious,” with a logical structure that helps pupils “secure their understanding before new knowledge is introduced.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are accurately identified and receive “bespoke support,” enabling them to achieve well.
- Early years provision is strong, with most pupils becoming “accurate readers by the end of the early years.”
- Staff wellbeing is prioritised through trust-wide collaboration, resulting in staff who are “proud to be a part of this special school.”
Areas to improve
- Some classroom tasks are “not as sharply focused as they could be,” meaning work is not always matched to pupils’ abilities.
- This lack of focus causes some pupils to find work “too hard and some find the work too easy,” which slows their learning progress.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
