About Brailes Church of England Primary School

Brailes Church of England Primary School sits in a curious position when you compare its headline metrics against the Warwickshire local authority average for primary schools. The LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 62 per cent, but Brailes achieves 69 per cent, putting it seven points ahead. That places the school in the top half of the 196 primary schools in the authority, ranked 52nd overall. Yet the picture is more mixed when you look at the higher standard: only 23 per cent of Brailes pupils hit that top tier in all three subjects, which is a modest figure. The school’s Ofsted rating is Good, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections, with leadership and management, early years provision and overall effectiveness all judged Good in the most recent graded inspection in 2014 and confirmed as maintaining standards in an ungraded visit in December 2024.
