About All Saints Bedworth CofE Academy

All Saints Bedworth CofE Academy is a Church of England primary school in Nuneaton and Bedworth that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 72 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.6 to one. Of those 72 applications, 19 were first-preference choices, and 19 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it is worth noting the school does not publish a parent-view survey result, so we cannot report a recommend percentage. The school is smaller than many primaries, with 198 pupils against a capacity of 210, and a high proportion of pupils — 44.9 per cent — are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and gives a sense of the community it serves.

Academically, the picture is mixed. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The early years provision and personal development were both judged Outstanding, while behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and quality of education all came out as Good. At Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year, 48 per cent of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Warwickshire local authority average of 62 per cent. Only 7 per cent reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths. Average scores were 103 in both reading and maths, which are in line with the national average of 100. The school ranks 125th out of 196 primary schools in the local authority, placing it in the bottom half of the area.

The school offers a range of facilities including an outdoor playground, ICT suite, gymnasium, dining hall and a chapel. Sports on offer include cricket, football, gymnastics and dance, and there are clubs such as art, chess and coding. The school has a nursery provision and supports children with a wide range of special educational needs, including moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, visual impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. For families seeking a Church of England primary with a strong sense of community and a clear focus on personal development, this school is worth a look. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is The Canons C of E Primary School, about one kilometre away, which may be an alternative for those who do not secure a place here.
