About Caludon Castle School

Caludon Castle School was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in February 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The single most informative exam metric is its Progress 8 score of 0.17, which means pupils here achieve nearly a fifth of a grade more per subject than the national average. That places the school comfortably above the Coventry local authority average of 0.07, and ranks it 11th out of 21 secondary schools in the area. In the West Midlands region, it sits in the top third of schools, and nationally it ranks in the upper half. The school has held a Good rating across both its recent inspections, though it was previously rated Outstanding in 2011. Leadership and management, as well as the sixth-form provision, were both judged Good in the 2016 inspection.
