St Nicholas CofE Primary School at a glance

Located in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, St Nicholas CofE Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Church of England religious character. The school educates roughly 406 pupils aged 4 to 11. 64% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 1.0 percentage points compared with 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 108 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made St Nicholas CofE Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 49 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.41 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. There are about 22.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. St Nicholas CofE 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.
