About this school's place in the register
St Matthew's Bloxam CofE Primary School is listed in the Department for Education's register of schools, Get Information About Schools, under unique reference number 130883. The register records it as a voluntary controlled school, in the group the Department calls local authority maintained schools. Its UK provider reference number is 10080485. The register was last checked on 23 September 2026.
Its phase of education is primary. The statutory age range is 4 to 11, which is the span of ages the school is registered to admit; the routes children take to the gate, and how independently they travel, follow from it. The intake is recorded as mixed. Its religious character is Church of England. At the last school census 199 pupils were on roll, and 28.1 percent of them were eligible for free school meals, a figure the report uses only to describe the catchment, never the school. The register holds a website address for the school, linked below.
The school is in England, at postcode CV22 7AU. Its grid reference is easting 449491, northing 274879, which is latitude 52.3697 and longitude -1.2745. That point is the centre of everything the safeguarding context report measures: the streets within a short walk, the routes to the nearest transport and shops, the roads at the gate, and the neighbourhood statistics that surround it.
St Matthew's Bloxam CofE Primary School sits in the Warwickshire local authority area, which has 286 open establishments in the register. The local authority is the body that publishes the local safeguarding partnership arrangements, the threshold document and the early help offer that a school's child protection policy refers to, so the same authority context applies to every school in Warwickshire.

What the report for St Matthew's Bloxam CofE Primary School contains
An annual report, written for the Designated Safeguarding Lead, that reads the public record for the environment around this school and says what it means in the language of Keeping Children Safe in Education and contextual safeguarding. Each chapter is mapped to the policy paragraph, the governors' annual report or the inspection question it evidences. The recorded picture at the gate comes from UK Crime Statistics, our sister service; the rest is evidence a crime map does not carry.
- The recorded picture at the gate. Police-recorded incidents within a short walk, from UK Crime Statistics, described as the streets a child crosses rather than as a score, and turned into the context paragraph the policy asks for.
- Exploitation indicators. The public signals of criminal and sexual exploitation in the area, and what a DSL can and cannot read into them.
- Places and routes where risk sits. Parks, shops, transport stops and underpasses on the way in, drawn from the data rather than from reputation.
- Road danger at the gate. Collisions involving pedestrians and cyclists on the surrounding roads, with what a School Street request needs.
- Air quality and catchment deprivation. The neighbourhood statistics that shape the context, printed with their limits.
- Policy paragraph, governor paragraph and inspector questions. Ready to paste, answered from the findings above.
