About Foxford Community School

Foxford Community School’s headline Progress 8 score of -0.23 sits below the Coventry local authority average of 0.07, placing it in the bottom half of secondary schools in the area. Ranked 14th out of 21 schools in Coventry, it falls into the bottom 50% nationally for this key measure of pupil progress from Key Stage 2 to GCSE. The school’s Attainment 8 score of 37.3 is modest, and just 48.3% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths (the basics 94 measure), compared with a national picture where the average hovers around 50%. The EBacc entry rate is low at 14%, and only 5.8% of pupils entered the full EBacc combination. These figures suggest that while the school is not among the highest-performing in the city, it serves a cohort with a high proportion of disadvantaged pupils — 39.3% are eligible for free school meals — which contextualises its below-average progress scores.
