About Stoke Primary School

Stoke Primary School is a popular choice among Coventry families, with 118 applications chasing just 57 places for the 2025/26 academic year, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. Of those, 53 first-preference families received offers, suggesting strong local demand despite the school's current Ofsted rating. The school's most recent graded inspection in February 2024 rated overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2016. However, the picture is mixed: inspectors judged behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, as Good, while leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision all require improvement. With 28 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse community, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three.
