The Ferncumbe CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary in the Warwickshire local authority, serving 178 pupils aged 4 to 11. In the local landscape of 196 same-type schools across the authority, it ranks 5th overall, placing it firmly among the top performers. Its closest peers at the very top are Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School and St Mary's Catholic Primary School, both with perfect ranking scores of 100, followed by Barford St Peter's CofE Primary School on 93. Within the Warwick borough specifically, the school sits 2nd out of 33 primary schools, putting it in the top 6% locally. This strong local standing is backed by a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in an ungraded inspection in January 2024, which noted the school remains Good.

Headteacher Sally Morris leads a school that is clearly well-regarded in its community.
