About Coton Green Primary School

Coton Green Primary School sits in an interesting spot within Staffordshire’s primary landscape. Its headline KS2 figure — 55% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — falls below the local authority average of 65%. That ten-point gap is worth noting, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. The school ranks 159th out of 308 primaries in the county, placing it just inside the bottom half of Staffordshire schools. In Tamworth specifically, it comes 9th out of 21, which is a middling position. The school’s capacity is 420, but it currently has 317 pupils on roll, meaning there’s room to grow. Around 19. 6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some context to the academic results. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Good across the board — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all came back as Good.
