Check the area around this school
47th 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 — 7.1/10 against 1,948 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| 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 Wembrook Primary School
Overview
Wembrook Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” It is described as a “very welcoming and ambitious school” where most pupils achieve high standards in core subjects. The report confirms that the school continues to provide a high-quality education with strong behaviour and personal development.
Strengths
- Pupils behave “incredibly well,” demonstrating they are “polite and respectful” and play cooperatively.
- The curriculum is “brought to life through carefully considered enrichment activities,” such as visits to a ‘French café’ and a residential trip to Paris.
- Reading is prioritised, with staff teaching phonics well and ensuring pupils read books that “closely match their phonics knowledge.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are supported effectively, allowing them to “achieve well.”
- Staff workload is “very well managed” and their well-being is “thoroughly supported.”
Areas to improve
- Misconceptions in pencil grip and letter formation are not always addressed, meaning some pupils do not learn to write accurately early enough.
- The school does not ensure that some disadvantaged pupils attend regularly, causing them to miss important learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
