About Camp Hill Primary School

Camp Hill Primary School’s headline metrics present a mixed picture when set against the Warwickshire local authority average for primary schools. The school’s Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score sits at 47%, which is 15 percentage points below the LA average of 62%. That places Camp Hill 127th out of 196 primary schools in the county, and 23rd out of 25 schools in the Nuneaton and Bedworth borough — putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 50.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average. Given that context, the gap to the LA average is perhaps less surprising, though it remains a significant one that parents will want to explore further.

Academically, the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results show a school where outcomes vary by subject. In maths, 66% of pupils reached the expected standard and the average scaled score was 104, with 14% achieving the higher standard. Reading saw 58% at expected and an average score of 102, with 19% reaching the higher threshold. Writing was the strongest area for expected standards at 64%, though no pupils achieved the higher standard in either writing or the combined reading, writing and maths measure. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it’s hard to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils’ starting points. Ofsted’s most recent ungraded inspection in February 2025 judged that standards are maintained, and the school holds a Good rating overall, with Good for early years provision, leadership and management, and behaviour and attitudes.

Camp Hill is a popular school in the area, oversubscribed for 2025/26 with 118 applications for 60 places and 62 first-preference applications. It offers a nursery provision for children from age two and has a broad range of facilities including a library, sensory room, ICT suite, playing fields and a chapel. The school lists ten SEND provisions covering areas from dyslexia and speech and language needs to autistic spectrum disorder and multi-sensory impairment, though the Parent View data shows no responses to the SEND support question, making it hard to gauge parental satisfaction in that area. Sports include swimming, cricket, dance, football, rounders and netball, while clubs range from chess and coding to eco club, drama, film club and choir. This is a school that suits families who value a strong pastoral and SEND offer in a diverse, high-disadvantage setting, but who will want to dig into the academic support for reaching expected standards.
