About St Michael's Church of England Academy

St Michael's Church of England Academy sits in the bottom half of Warwickshire primary schools on its headline KS2 measure, with 53% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is nine percentage points below the local authority average of 62%, placing the school 111th out of 196 primaries in the county. The gap is most pronounced in reading and maths at the higher standard: only 9% of pupils achieved a high score in reading and 16% in maths, compared with a national picture where roughly a quarter of pupils typically reach that threshold. Writing at the higher level is even lower, at just 3%. Yet the school is not a straightforward underperformer. Its maths average scaled score of 102 and reading average of 101 are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting most children are making solid progress even if fewer than average are exceeding expectations. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 judged it Good overall, with leadership and management rated Outstanding — a significant turnaround from its previous Inadequate rating in 2014.
