About Dove Bank Primary School

Dove Bank Primary School is a primary school in Nuneaton, Leicestershire, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 159 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 19.0 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 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Dove Bank Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 25 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 11.1%. There are about 21.7 pupils per teacher. Dove Bank 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.
