Schools in Coventry: FAQ
How many schools are there in Coventry?
There are 317 registered schools in Coventry on the latest Ofsted/GIAS data — 263 primary, 53 secondary, and the remainder all-through, special, or 16+ providers. Of these, 53% are rated Good or Outstanding.
What is the best-rated school in Coventry?
38 schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted in Coventry, and 130 more are rated Good. Outstanding schools are often oversubscribed, so proximity (your postcode's distance to the school) usually determines whether you can get a place.
How do I check school catchment for a Coventry postcode?
Catchment depends on the exact address. Enter any Coventry postcode into PostcodeCheck and the area report lists every school near that postcode, its Ofsted rating, type, and distance — the data admissions teams use to decide places.
Does living near a good school in Coventry affect house prices?
Yes. Homes inside the effective catchment of an Outstanding or Good school typically command a 5-15% premium. The effect is strongest for primary schools, where catchment areas are smaller and admissions are tightly distance-based.
