What the figures show
- The last Reception offer in 2026 went to a child living 2.102 miles away, the 32nd longest of 79 Coventry primary schools with a published Reception 2026 last distance.
- That 2026 Reception distance was nearer the school than in 2025 and further than in 2024, and it swung sharply between some years.

- In 2024/25, 48% met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (England 62%), the 3rd lowest of 9 schools: this one and the 8 nearest primary schools in Coventry.
