About Dunnington CofE Primary School

Dunnington CofE Primary School is a primary school in Alcester, Warwickshire, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 87 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 55% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 8.0 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 top 33% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 18% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Dunnington CofE Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 12 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 1.65 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 6.4%. There are about 16.4 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 11% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally.
