88th of 258 primary schools in Birmingham we can score, 291 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.6/10 against 1,515 of them, against 6.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Acocks Green Primary School
Overview
Acocks Green Primary School is described as an inclusive environment where the motto ‘everyone is different, everyone is equal, everyone is welcome’ is evident. The report highlights that pupils are ‘happy in school’ and benefit from ‘high expectations for behaviour’ that are ‘clear and consistently applied’. The school provides ‘highly effective pastoral support’ and an ‘ambitious’ curriculum that successfully promotes well-being and achievement for all pupils, including those with special educational needs.
Strengths
- Behaviour and attitudes are ‘excellent’, with pupils demonstrating ‘exceptional attitudes to learning’ and high levels of concentration.
- The early years provision is ‘exceptional’, with staff planning ‘exciting and engaging activities’ that help children make ‘rapid progress’.
- Reading is a ‘high priority’, with systematic phonics teaching and swift support for those who fall behind, ensuring pupils build ‘fluency and confidence’.
- Personal development is ‘exemplary’, supported by an ‘extensive range’ of activities that broaden pupils’ ‘cultural capital’ and understanding of British values.
- Pupils with SEND receive ‘accurate and prompt’ identification of needs and access to the same curriculum as their peers, often supported by a ‘wellbeing hub’.
Areas to improve
- In a ‘minority of wider curriculum subjects’, key knowledge is not identified with ‘the same degree of precision’, preventing pupils from building necessary depth.
- The school should ensure precise knowledge is ‘identified and sequenced across all subjects’ so all pupils know and remember more.
Safeguarding
The report states that ‘the arrangements for safeguarding are effective’.
