Aldermoor Farm Primary School

About Aldermoor Farm Primary School

Aldermoor Farm Primary School sits in the middle of the pack for Coventry primary schools, but its headline KS2 results tell a more nuanced story. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 61%, which is three percentage points above the Coventry local authority average of 58%. That places it 30th out of 85 primary schools in the area, just inside the top half locally and nationally around the 54th percentile. However, the picture changes at the higher end: only 9% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, compared with a local average that is not broken down in the same way but suggests the school is stronger at getting children to a solid baseline than pushing them into the top tier. In maths and reading, average scores are both 104, which is exactly in line with the national average for those tests.

The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2023 rated it Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. Every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good, with no outstanding or inadequate marks. This consistency across the board suggests a school that has stabilised under headteacher Lucy Wright. In terms of progress measures, the data does not provide specific scores for reading, writing or maths, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds compared with pupils nationally. The rankings are based purely on the combined expected standard, where Aldermoor Farm performs slightly above the Coventry average but well behind the top three local schools, which all score above 78 on the same metric.

Aldermoor Farm is a large primary with 656 pupils on roll, close to its capacity of 682, and it is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 89 applications for 59 places, with 55 first-preference offers made. That works out at 1.51 applicants per place, so it is a popular choice locally. The school has a nursery provision for three-year-olds and a wide range of SEND support, including resourced provision for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, visual impairment and physical disability. Facilities include a sensory room, art studios, a sports hall and a library, and the extracurricular offer covers science club, coding and chess alongside sports like swimming, gymnastics and netball. Families looking for a solid, improving primary with good SEND capacity and above-average core results in a competitive Coventry catchment will find this school a realistic and well-regarded option.
