About Our Lady's Catholic Primary School

Our Lady's Catholic Primary School in Stratford-on-Avon has undergone a remarkable turnaround, earning an Outstanding rating across all areas in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025. This is a significant leap from its previous inspection in 2023, when the school was rated Requires Improvement overall, with a grade 3 for quality of education, leadership, and management. The latest inspection saw every category — quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management — judged Outstanding. The school's academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results from the 2023/24 academic year. While no pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing, and maths combined, 71% met the expected standard in all three subjects, comfortably above the Warwickshire local authority average of 62%. Reading was a particular strength, with 94% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 29% achieving the higher standard.
