Alderman's Green Primary School

About Alderman's Green Primary School

Alderman's Green Primary School is a mixed, state primary in Coventry that is running very close to full capacity, with 505 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 510. That near-full picture is reflected in its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 107 applications for 51 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.1, and 46 of those offers went to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 41.8%, which is notably high compared with the national average for primary schools, and this sits within a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 expected standard attainment is 58%. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three, so it serves families from the earliest stages of primary education. The headteacher is Jenny Tegerdine, and the school's most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024 judged it Good overall, a significant improvement on its previous Requires Improvement rating from December 2018.

Academically, Alderman's Green performs well above the Coventry local authority average. At Key Stage 2 in 2023/24, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. In individual subjects, 79% met the expected standard in writing, 77% in maths and 74% in reading. The school also achieves strong higher-standard results: 21% of pupils scored at the higher level in reading, 18% in maths and 16% in writing, while 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects. Average scaled scores were 105 in both reading and maths. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 38.6% of all primaries for its combined expected standard, and within Coventry it sits 18th out of 80 schools, placing it in the top quarter of the local authority. The Ofsted inspection awarded Outstanding grades for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes, with leadership and management also rated Outstanding. The quality of education was judged Good.

The school offers a broad range of facilities including a sports hall, library, art studios, ICT suite, gymnasium, playing fields and a forest school, plus a chapel on site. Sports provision covers football, tennis, athletics, cricket, gymnastics, swimming and rounders, and there are clubs for gardening, book club and science club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists a resourced provision and supports a wide range of SEND categories including autistic spectrum disorder, speech, language and communication needs, social, emotional and mental health needs, and physical disability. Given its strong local performance, high demand for places and improved Ofsted rating, Alderman's Green is a solid choice for Coventry families seeking a well-regarded community primary with strong early years provision and a clear focus on behaviour and personal development. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Courthouse Green Primary School, 1.8 km away.
