About Corpus Christi Catholic School
Corpus Christi Catholic School is a state-funded Roman Catholic primary in Coventry, led by headteacher Andrew McConville. It sits 58th out of 85 same-type schools in the local authority, placing it in the bottom half of the Coventry primary league table. The top-performing peers in the area are St John Vianney Catholic Primary School, Manor Park Primary School, and Finham Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Sidney Stringer Primary Academy, about 3.6 kilometres away. Corpus Christi itself holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2015, and an ungraded inspection in October 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That inspection gave top marks of Good for leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness. The school serves a diverse community, with 30% of pupils eligible for free school meals, and it is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, 90 families applied for 51 places, with 49 first-preference offers made.
