About Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School

Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School in Coventry holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in December 2024, with inspectors awarding Good across every category including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school has maintained this standard since its previous inspection in 2014, which also rated it Good overall. However, the most telling academic metric is the Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, where just 45% of pupils met the benchmark. That figure sits well below the Coventry local authority average of 58%, and places the school 71st out of 80 primary schools in the area. Nationally, it ranks in the bottom 15% of all primary schools on this measure. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 30 first-preference applications for 30 places and 50 total applications, suggesting strong local demand despite the academic picture.
