About Great Alne Primary School

Great Alne Primary School’s headline metrics paint a stark picture when set against the Warwickshire local authority average. Just 33% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, compared with a county average of 62%. That is a gap of nearly thirty percentage points, and it places the school in the bottom 2% of primary schools nationally for this measure. Within Stratford-on-Avon, it ranks 51st out of 52 schools, sitting in the bottom tier. The school is also heavily oversubscribed relative to its size — ten applications for just four places in the 2025/26 admissions round — but the data suggests families are choosing it despite, rather than because of, its academic outcomes. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in early 2023, rated the school Inadequate across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision.
