About Finham Primary School

Finham Primary School sits within Coventry local authority, where it ranks third out of 80 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure — comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The three schools ahead of it locally are St John Vianney Catholic Primary School, Manor Park Primary School and Cannon Park Primary School, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. Finham’s own ranking score of 78 puts it in strong company, and its position is particularly notable given that only two primaries in the entire authority hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The nearest of those, Sidney Stringer Primary Academy, is about 4.6 kilometres away. Finham itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, which took place in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in June 2024 confirmed the school remains Good with an improving trajectory. The headteacher is Sarah Bracken, and the school serves 472 pupils across the 3–11 age range, operating above its stated capacity of 420.
