Check the area around this school
105th 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 3,769 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5/10 among them, against 3.2/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 40% | 1.10 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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
Since the results for the higher standard sit below the national median, what specific support is available for pupils aiming to exceed the expected standard? How does the school manage class sizes given the current roll exceeds the designated places?
What Ofsted said about Wellesbourne CofE Primary School
Overview
Wellesbourne CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "friendly, caring school where everyone is welcomed into the school community." Pupils demonstrate strong values of "service, kindness and resilience," resulting in excellent behaviour and high expectations for learning. The school offers an ambitious curriculum with effective support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit "genuinely caring" interactions and "excellent" behaviour, guided by well-understood rules and independent reflection.
- The curriculum in English, mathematics, and science is "ambitious and inclusive," resulting in "good outcomes" and effective subject mapping.
- Early years provision securely lays foundations for later success, ensuring "seamless learning" as children move into key stage 1.
- Support for pupils with SEND is "effective," with expert assessments and clear pupil profiles enabling a "highly inclusive learning experience."
- Pastoral work is "very strong," reducing barriers to learning and contributing to good attendance and positive parent feedback.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, end-of-unit assessments do not effectively assess key knowledge or allow pupils to apply learning in sufficient depth.
- There is variation in the implementation of the reading curriculum, as not all staff possess the same level of expertise and confidence in teaching reading.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
