About Good Shepherd Catholic School

Good Shepherd Catholic School in Coventry has turned a corner academically. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. The inspection report highlights two Outstanding areas: personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision were all judged Good. On the key Year 6 SATs measure, 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits just above the Coventry local authority average of 58%, placing the school 36th out of 80 primary schools in the area. While this puts it in the bottom half of Coventry primaries, the school is within striking distance of the top half, and its upward trajectory from its previous inspection is worth noting.
