About Newton Regis CofE Primary School
Parents at Newton Regis CofE Primary School are overwhelmingly positive, with 97% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. The survey, which ran between September 2024 and September 2025, drew 32 responses and showed particularly strong feelings around pupil happiness and safety: 72% of parents strongly agreed their child is happy, and 84% strongly agreed their child feels safe. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 27 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. Fourteen of those applications were first preferences, and 14 offers were made to first-preference families. Parents also reported high confidence in how the school handles behaviour and communication, with 93% agreeing or strongly agreeing that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 97% agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child does well.
Academically, Newton Regis performs well above the local average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a Warwickshire local authority average of 62%. The school’s average scores in reading and maths were both 107, and 81% of pupils met the expected standard in each of those subjects individually. At the higher standard, 13% achieved the combined benchmark, with 25% reaching it in maths and 25% in writing. The school ranks 6th out of 21 primary schools in the North Warwickshire area for its combined expected standard, placing it in the top third nationally. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and the school continues to hold a Good rating across leadership, early years provision and overall effectiveness.
The school offers a strong set of facilities for a primary of its size, including an ICT suite, sports hall, sensory room, music rooms and a chapel. Sports on offer include tennis, football, netball and cross country, and there are clubs such as chess, film club and book club. For families with children who have additional needs, the school lists provisions for specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and autistic spectrum disorder. With 96 pupils on roll against a capacity of 119, there is some room for growth, but the oversubscription figures suggest demand is high. This is a Church of England primary with a nursery provision, so it will particularly suit families in the North Warwickshire area looking for a well-regarded village school with strong parent satisfaction and solid academic outcomes.
