About Southam Primary School

Southam Primary School’s most recent Key Stage 2 results put it comfortably ahead of the Warwickshire local authority average, with 80% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 62%. That 18-point gap is a clear standout, placing the school in the top quarter nationally for this measure. Its reading and maths average scores of 107 and 106 respectively are solid, and the proportion hitting the higher standard in maths (39%) is notably strong. The school ranks 14th out of 52 primary schools in the Stratford-on-Avon district, and 160th out of 1,378 in the West Midlands region, which puts it in the top 12% regionally. For parents weighing up local options, these headline metrics suggest a school that is performing well above the typical Warwickshire primary, particularly in driving core academic attainment.
