Queen's Church of England Academy

About Queen's Church of England Academy

Parents considering Queen's Church of England Academy will find a school that families broadly trust, though it's worth noting the data doesn't include a parent recommendation percentage, so that particular signal isn't available here. What is clear is that the school is popular enough to be oversubscribed: with 354 pupils against a capacity of 368, it's running at roughly 96% full, which suggests steady local demand. The school is a state primary for ages 7 to 11, mixed gender, with a Church of England character, and is led by headteacher Hannah Carvell. It sits within the Nuneaton and Bedworth borough in Warwickshire. A notable point for parents is the school's journey: its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2016 rated it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management, and an ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed it remains Good. That's a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2012, which rated the school Inadequate overall.

Academically, Queen's Church of England Academy produces results that sit around the middle of the pack locally. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 54% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That's below the Warwickshire local authority average of 62%, placing the school 109th out of 196 similar schools in the LA. Broken down, reading was the strongest subject with 80% reaching the expected standard and 34% achieving the higher standard, while maths saw 69% at expected and 30% at higher. Writing was weaker, with 66% at expected and just 19% at higher. Average scores were 106 in reading and 104 in maths. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom 50% for its combined expected standard metric, sitting at the 70th percentile in the West Midlands region. For parents focused on academic outcomes, this is a solid but not standout performer within its LA.

The school offers a practical range of facilities including a Forest School, library, gymnasium, outdoor playground, playing fields and a chapel, plus clubs in drama, science and coding. Sports provision covers gymnastics, cricket, rounders and dance. SEND support is broad, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, social and emotional mental health needs, speech and language communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. This makes it a potentially good fit for families who want a mainstream setting with a strong SEND infrastructure. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Our Lady & St. Joseph Catholic Academy, 1.1 km away, so parents with that preference have a nearby alternative. Overall, Queen's suits families who value a stable, Good-rated Church of England primary with decent facilities and a broad SEND offer, and who are comfortable with academic results that are slightly below the LA average.
