About St Oswald's CofE Academy

St Oswald's CofE Academy is a primary school in Rugby, Warwickshire, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 192 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 56% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous 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 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). St Oswald's CofE Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 22 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 6.1%. There are about 27.4 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 39% 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. St Oswald's CofE Academy 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
