Eastern Green Junior School

About Eastern Green Junior School

Eastern Green Junior School sits within Coventry’s primary landscape, a local authority where just two of 85 same-type schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 64th out of 80 primary schools in Coventry, placing it in the bottom half of the LA table. Its top-performing local peers include St John Vianney Catholic Primary School, Manor Park Primary School, and Finham Primary School, all of which score notably higher on the ranking metric used. Eastern Green is a state-funded, mixed primary for pupils aged 7 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. The school has a capacity of 240 and currently enrols 239 pupils, so it is running very close to full. Just under 14% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is broadly in line with national averages for a school of this type.

In its most recent graded inspection, carried out in November 2012, the school was rated Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in February 2023 confirmed that it remains Good. At Key Stage 2, 51% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, which is below the Coventry LA average of 58%. The school’s maths and reading average scores both sit at 104, while 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths and 71% in reading. Writing was slightly lower, with 66% achieving the expected level. At the higher standard, just 3% of pupils achieved the combined higher benchmark, with 19% reaching it in maths, 17% in reading, and only 7% in writing. Nationally, the school ranks in the 76th percentile, meaning it sits in the bottom quarter of all primary schools in England.

The school offers a solid range of facilities including an outdoor playground, ICT suite, library, music rooms, playing fields, gymnasium, and a chapel. Sports on offer include football, athletics, dance, gymnastics, netball, and rounders, while clubs cover choir, gardening, coding, and drama. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists nine SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, multi-sensory impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. Given its near-full capacity and below-average KS2 outcomes, this school may suit families who prioritise a broad range of activities and inclusive SEND support over top-tier academic results, and who are comfortable with a school that is heavily subscribed within its local area.
