About schools in Warwickshire

How many schools are there in Warwickshire?
Warwickshire has 284 open schools — 202 primary, 41 secondary, 15 special, 6 nursery, teaching 98,276 pupils in total.
How many schools in Warwickshire are rated Good or Outstanding?
205 of the 223 schools holding an Ofsted grade — 92% — are rated Good or Outstanding, including 22 rated Outstanding. That share is measured against graded schools, not all 284: a school inspected since September 2024 has no overall grade at all.
What is the average Academic Performance in Warwickshire?
5.0 out of 10, averaged across the 256 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 Warwickshire schools have no Ofsted rating?
61 schools in Warwickshire 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 Warwickshire 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. Warwickshire covers 284 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 Warwickshire are eligible for free school meals?
22.0% — 20,009 of 91,064 pupils at the 252 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.
