Harbury CofE Primary School
About Harbury CofE Primary School
Harbury CofE Primary School’s key stage 2 results stand out sharply against the Warwickshire average. Across reading, writing and maths, 82% of pupils met the expected standard, compared with a local authority average of 62% for primary schools. That’s a twenty-point gap, placing the school comfortably in the top 10% of primary schools nationally and 9th out of 52 schools in the Stratford-on-Avon district. The picture is similarly strong at the higher standard: 9% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark in all three subjects, while 36% reached the higher standard in reading alone. Reading scores averaged 108, and maths 105, both above the national expectation of 100. The school is oversubscribed by nearly three to one, with 68 applications for 23 places in 2025/26, and 15 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents recognise the academic strength on offer here.
