Coundon Primary School
About Coundon Primary School
Coundon Primary School sits within Coventry local authority, a large urban area with 85 primary schools. In the most recent local rankings based on Key Stage 2 outcomes, the school placed 52nd out of 80, placing it in the bottom half of Coventry primaries. For context, the top-performing schools in the same authority include St John Vianney Catholic Primary School, Manor Park Primary School, and Finham Primary School, all of which achieved higher ranking scores. Coundon’s position suggests it is a solidly average performer within a competitive local landscape, though its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025 rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour all judged Good. That represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2015, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The school has capacity for 630 pupils and currently enrols 520, with 15.7 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals.
