St John Vianney Catholic Primary School
About St John Vianney Catholic Primary School
St John Vianney Catholic Primary School in Coventry has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2024, which confirmed the school remains on an improving trajectory. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 86% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure places the school well above the Coventry local authority average of 58%, and it is the top-performing primary in the entire local authority out of 80 schools, sitting in the top 1.25% nationally. The school also achieved strong average scaled scores of 109 in reading and 108 in maths, with 50% of pupils reaching the higher standard in maths. These results are particularly striking given that the school is oversubscribed and serves a relatively small cohort of 238 pupils.
