About Christ Church CofE (C) Primary School

Christ Church CofE (C) Primary School in Lichfield holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more interesting story. Inspectors awarded the school Outstanding marks for both personal development and behaviour and attitudes, while quality of education and leadership and management were rated Good. That’s a meaningful upgrade from the previous inspection in 2017, when personal development wasn’t separately graded and behaviour and attitudes weren’t assessed at all. On the academic front, the school’s standout metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 90 per cent. That figure places Christ Church first out of 34 primary schools in the Lichfield local authority area, and in the top three per cent nationally. It’s a strong signal that the school is delivering consistently solid results across the core subjects.
