Lighthorne Heath Primary School

School overview

Lighthorne Heath Primary School is a primary school serving Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. It has 100 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 50% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 7.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 100 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Lighthorne Heath Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 15 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.9%. There are about 22.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 47% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Lighthorne Heath Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
