36th of 82 primary schools in Coventry we can score, 85 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 — 5.3/10 against 2,295 of them, against 4.4/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Whoberley Hall Primary School
Overview
Whoberley Hall Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a "family feel" where everyone is "welcome and valued." Pupils are "friendly, polite and enjoy attending school," benefiting from positive relationships and a curriculum that is largely well-ordered. Leaders and governors are actively working to further improve the quality of education.
Strengths
- The school fosters a strong sense of unity, with pupils embodying values such as "compassion", "respect" and "determination".
- Teachers have "secure subject knowledge" and explain new learning "clearly in a logical manner", particularly in mathematics.
- Reading is a top priority; phonics lessons follow a "set structure" and staff provide extra help to fill gaps, helping pupils become "fluent readers".
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "fully included in lessons" and supported by a "graduated system" involving parents.
- Staff feel "valued" and appreciate the training provided, while parents are "overwhelmingly positive" about the community feel.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum "lacks clarity about the knowledge and skills that pupils will learn" and is "not as well ordered".
- Some individual targets for pupils with SEND are "too general" and lack specificity, leaving staff unclear on how to support needs.
- Pupils’ knowledge of "other faiths and cultures is not as well developed".
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
