About Whittington CofE Primary School

Whittington CofE Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 result sits almost exactly in line with the local authority average, but the detail beneath that headline tells a more nuanced story. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, compared with a Worcestershire average of 61% — a gap of just one percentage point. However, the school’s performance is notably stronger in individual subjects: 87% of pupils met the expected standard in maths (the LA average for maths is typically lower), and 80% did so in reading. At the higher standard, the picture is more mixed — just 3% of pupils achieved the higher benchmark across all three subjects, and the school ranks 11th out of 17 primary schools in the Wychavon area, placing it in the bottom half nationally. That said, the school is heavily oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 82 applications, with 33 first-preference requests, suggesting strong local demand despite middling headline scores.
