Check the area around this school
141st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 2,894 of them, against 2.6/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 49.0 · 17 | 62% | 1.06 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 38% | 1.54 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Woodloes Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 49.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 5.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom
Pupils participate in swimming, attend Forest School sessions, and go on residential visits.
Getting in
The published school roll is 401 pupils against a stated capacity of 450. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.

What Ofsted said about Woodloes Primary School
Overview
Woodloes Primary School is described as having a "strong, inclusive ethos" where pupils are "polite and well mannered." The report highlights that relationships between staff and pupils are "warm and respectful," ensuring children feel "happy, safe and secure." Recent leadership changes and curriculum revisions have contributed to rising standards, though some areas require further development to maximise pupil achievement.
Strengths
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "supported well" and make "good progress" due to accurate identification of needs and staff training.
- The curriculum is "well designed and sequenced" and is "ambitious for all pupils," with recent revisions successfully raising standards in some subjects.
- Reading is highly valued, with a new library and phonics scheme leading to excitement and improved standards, particularly in early years.
- Staff demonstrate "secure subject knowledge" and effectively check pupils’ understanding, while the new positive behaviour policy is proving "popular with both pupils and parents."
- Governors and the trust have supported the school effectively, leading to "significant improvements" and higher standards.
Areas to improve
- The curriculum in some subjects does not sufficiently deepen learning, meaning some pupils are not challenged enough to extend their understanding.
- Valuable learning time is lost when pupils who finish work early wait for peers; the school must plan appropriate activities to consolidate learning.
- More work is needed to strengthen pupils’ awareness of other religions and cultures to better prepare them for life in modern Britain.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
