About Wyken Croft Primary School

Wyken Croft Primary School sits below the Coventry local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 53% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against an LA average of 58%. That places the school 60th out of 85 primary schools in the authority, in the bottom half nationally. The gap is most noticeable in reading, where 58% of pupils met the expected standard, and in maths, where 72% did. Just 3% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2024 judged its overall effectiveness as ‘Not judged’ under the new framework, but the quality of education was rated ‘Requires improvement’. However, inspectors rated behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all as ‘Good’. That’s a shift from the previous inspection in 2015, when the school was rated ‘Good’ overall.
