About Keresley Grange Primary School
Keresley Grange Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary school in Coventry, serving children aged 4 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape: among the 85 primary schools in the Coventry local authority, it ranks 51st, placing it in the bottom half of the LA's schools. Its ranking score of 56 puts it behind top local peers like St John Vianney Catholic Primary School (score 86), Manor Park Primary School (83), and Finham Primary School (78). The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Sidney Stringer Primary Academy, about 3.4 kilometres away. Keresley Grange itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school is led by headteacher John Astley and has a capacity of 315 pupils, with 313 currently enrolled, meaning it is operating very close to full. Just over 24 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average and gives a sense of the school's intake.
