Adderley Primary School

Birmingham, B8 1DZ · Birmingham · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
6.2/10 Broadly average

77th of 259 primary schools in Birmingham we can score, 293 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 — 8.5/10 against 488 of them, against 6.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 68.0 · 60 40% 2.41

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 14.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.8 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Bikeability and Balanceability. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.

Getting in. The school has 328 pupils in a building with 630 places, leaving 302 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? What specific activities are available for children who finish their morning work early? How does the school manage class sizes given the significant number of spare places?
