About St Andrew's Benn CofE (Voluntary Aided) Primary School

St Andrew's Benn CofE Primary School in Rugby holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement grade. The school's most recent graded inspection in 2016 awarded it Good across the board, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it 'remains Good'. The most telling exam metric for this primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 43% in the 2023/24 academic year. This is well below the Warwickshire local authority average of 62%, and places the school 140th out of 196 similar primaries in the county. In the Rugby local area specifically, it ranks 24th out of 28 schools, putting it in the bottom half. The picture is mixed when you look at individual subjects: 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 63% in maths, but only 46% did so in writing.
