About Paddox Primary School

Paddox Primary School sits within Warwickshire local authority, a large county with 196 primary schools, where it ranks 103rd overall. In the more immediate Rugby area, the school places 14th out of 28 primaries, placing it squarely in the middle of the pack locally. Its top-performing peers in the wider authority include Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School and St Mary's Catholic Primary School, both of which achieved the highest possible ranking score, alongside Barford St Peter's CofE Primary School. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Eastlands Primary School, just a kilometre away. Paddox itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That marks a change from its previous inspection in 2010, when it was judged Outstanding overall, with leadership and management also rated Outstanding at that time.
