About schools in Coventry

How many schools are there in Coventry?
Coventry has 124 open schools — 85 primary, 22 secondary, 9 special, 1 nursery, teaching 63,027 pupils in total.
How many schools in Coventry are rated Good or Outstanding?
91 of the 102 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 89% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 8 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 124: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Coventry?
4.2 out of 10, averaged across the 117 schools here that can be scored, where 5 is the national average. Academic Performance combines the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment and is ranked against comparable schools, so it is neither figure on its own.
Why do some Coventry schools have no Ofsted rating?
22 schools in Coventry currently hold no overall grade. Ofsted stopped awarding single-word judgements in September 2024 and moved to a report card of separately graded areas, so schools inspected since then have no overall rating whatever the inspection found. Their profiles show the report card instead.
What does Coventry local authority do?
A local authority is the body responsible for state education in its area — the level most admissions and school-place decisions are made at. Coventry covers 124 schools and sits in the West Midlands region. It does not run academies or independent schools directly, though it still coordinates admissions for most of them.
How many pupils in Coventry are eligible for free school meals?
28.7% — 17,517 of 61,063 pupils at the 118 schools that report it. Independent schools file a return with roll and sex only, so they are outside this figure rather than counted as zero.
