Frederick Bird Academy

About Frederick Bird Academy

Frederick Bird Academy is a large primary school in Coventry that sits below the local authority average on key academic measures, a fact that families weighing up their options will want to consider carefully. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated its overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, and its performance in the early years and quality of education received the same grade. By contrast, the Coventry local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment stands at 58, a benchmark that Frederick Bird has not met in its most recent assessment. The school is significantly oversubscribed — 148 applications for 90 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 68 first-preference offers — which suggests strong local demand despite the inspection rating. However, parents should note that the school’s personal development was graded Good, a bright spot in an otherwise mixed picture, and that the previous inspection in 2019 also rated the school as Requires Improvement overall.
