About St Osburg's Catholic Primary School

St Osburg's Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the Coventry local authority average for its key stage 2 results, with 68% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 58%. That ten-point gap places the school 16th out of 80 primary schools in Coventry, putting it in the top 20% locally and the top 35% nationally. The school also outperforms the LA average in individual subjects: 93% of pupils met the expected standard in reading and 89% in maths, while average scaled scores of 108 in reading and 106 in maths suggest solid foundations. What stands out is that these strong academic results come from a school that is oversubscribed — 64 applications for 30 places in 2025/26 — and that serves a community where 20.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average for primary schools.
