Allesley Hall Primary School

About Allesley Hall Primary School

If you compare Allesley Hall Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results against the Coventry local authority average, the picture is mixed. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 50%, which is below the LA average of 58%. That places Allesley Hall 66th out of 85 primary schools in Coventry, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. However, the school’s average scaled scores tell a slightly different story: pupils achieved an average reading score of 106 and an average maths score of 105, both of which are above the national benchmark of 100. So while the headline combined measure lags behind the local norm, individual subject scores suggest that many children are performing at a solid level, particularly in reading where 36% reached the higher standard, compared with 25% in maths and just 7% in writing.

In its most recent graded inspection in 2013, Ofsted rated the school Good overall, with Good for leadership and management. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that the school remains Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2010, when it was judged to require improvement. The school’s Progress 8 scores for reading, writing and maths are not available in the data, so it’s not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. What is clear is that the school is oversubscribed: for 25 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 80 total applications, with 23 first-preference offers made. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 3.2, meaning demand comfortably exceeds supply, which often signals local confidence in the school despite the middling headline results.

Allesley Hall is a smaller-than-average primary with 193 pupils against a capacity of 210, and 11.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals. The school offers a broad range of facilities including an ICT suite, sports hall, library, sensory room, art studios, gymnasium, playing fields and even a chapel. Sports provision covers rounders, swimming, cricket, gymnastics, tennis, football and athletics, while clubs include science, drama, chess, coding and art. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists SEND provisions for moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health, speech language and communication, autistic spectrum disorder, and other difficulty or disability. Given its Good Ofsted rating, above-average subject scores in reading and maths, and strong local demand, this school may suit families who value a well-resourced setting with a clear focus on core academic skills, even if its combined attainment doesn’t top the local rankings.
