Ofsted stopped giving single-word overall grades in September 2024, so these are the grades from each school's last full inspection.

Which primary schools in Southam have the best SATs results?
Of the 9 primary schools in Southam with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Stockton Primary School (86% in reading, 81% in maths); Southam Primary School (83% in reading, 83% in maths); and The Priors School (82% in reading, 82% in maths). Small schools can swing a long way from one year to the next, because each pupil is a large share of the result.

Are there grammar schools in Southam?
No. None of the state secondary schools in Southam selects pupils by ability, so every state secondary here is comprehensive.

Do schools in Southam have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Southam have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Warwickshire allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.
How do I apply for a school place in Southam?
Apply to Warwickshire through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts.
