What the figures show

In 2026 the last child offered a Reception place lived 3.304 miles away, the 66th longest of 176 Warwickshire primary schools with a published Reception 2026 last distance.
That distance was further from the school than in 2025 and in 2020, and the 2026 Reception figure was the longest of the 5 years with a published distance.
The Reception last distance has swung sharply, most of all from 2023 to 2024; every applicant was offered a place in 3 of the 8 years with a published outcome.
Reception 2026 drew 48 first-choice applications for 57 offers; every first-choice family was offered a place, and 9 offers went to families who ranked it second or lower.

Ofsted

Good Inspected 27 February 2024

Strengths

“This is a caring school where pupils feel happy and safe.”
“Staff know the needs of their pupils well and make sure every pupil feels included and successful.”
“They show enthusiasm and interest in their work.”

To improve

“In a few subjects, pupils’ knowledge of the curriculum is not so strong.”
“This is because, in these subjects, some of the explanations do not help pupils understand what they are learning or remember the important vocabulary the school thinks pupils need to know.”
“At other times, it is because the tasks teachers sometimes set pupils can limit their understanding.”
