About Radford Primary Academy

Radford Primary Academy is a school that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.1. Of those 61 applications, 28 were first-preference choices, and 27 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, even though the school doesn't publish a parent-view recommendation percentage in the data. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and it sits within the Coventry local authority. It has a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in October 2022, a notable improvement from its previous inspection in January 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement across leadership, management, and overall effectiveness.
