Questions
Questions parents ask
How many secondary schools are in Coventry?
There are 35 secondary schools in Coventry, including state-funded, academies, and independent schools.
What are the best secondary schools in Coventry?
The highest-ranked secondary schools in Coventry on Eduscope are Eden Girls' School, Coventry, Finham Park School and Bishop Ullathorne Catholic School. We rank each state school against schools of the same phase across England on its Ofsted inspection, results and attendance.
How many Ofsted Outstanding secondary schools are in Coventry?
Coventry has 3 secondary schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted. A further 12 are rated Good, meaning 94% of inspected schools hold a Good or Outstanding rating.
How are secondary schools in Coventry ranked on Eduscope?
Each state school gets a rank score out of 100. We place each measure as a percentile among state schools of the same phase across England, then weight them. Primary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 30%, pupils meeting the expected standard at Key Stage 2 30%, pupils reaching the higher standard 10%, persistent absence (lower is better) 20%, average reading and maths scores 10%. Secondary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 25%, Attainment 8 25%, grade 5 or above in English and maths 15%, persistent absence (lower is better) 15%, pupils staying in education or work after GCSEs 10%, A level average points (sixth forms only) 10%. Results are averaged over up to three years, and an Ofsted grade older than five years counts for less. A school needs data for at least 60% of the weights. Special schools, pupil referral units, nurseries, independent schools and 16 to 19 schools aren't ranked, and are listed by Ofsted grade and name. Our methodology page explains more.
What is the average class size in Coventry secondary schools?
The average pupil-teacher ratio across secondary schools in Coventry is 17:1. While this is not a direct measure of class size, it indicates the level of teaching resource available per pupil.
How do I choose a secondary school in Coventry?
When choosing a secondary school in Coventry, consider Ofsted ratings, GCSE results (Progress 8 and Attainment 8), sixth form provision, and the school's specialisms. You can compare all 35 secondary schools on Eduscope using filters for school type, gender, and admissions policy.
