Check the area around this school
219th 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 — 2.6/10 against 179 of them, against 1.5/10 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 | 49.0 · 17 | 40% | 0.69 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Anglesey Primary School
Overview
Anglesey Primary School is described as a community-focused institution where "highly dedicated, caring staff" prioritise pupils’ needs, fostering a "harmonious school environment" built on mutual respect. Following a period of turbulence, the school has raised ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, resulting in improved progress and strong relationships with parents.
Strengths
- Staff create a supportive culture where pupils "feel safe" and show respect for the school’s diverse cultural community.
- A new phonics programme has led to "high-quality phonics teaching," enabling pupils to read with "increasing confidence and fluency."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are identified swiftly and supported effectively, often achieving well alongside peers.
- The curriculum is designed to prepare pupils for their next stage of learning, with effective teaching helping them make "stronger progress."
- Pupils develop leadership responsibilities and have a "good understanding of fundamental British values," supporting them to become active citizens.
Areas to improve
- The school must improve systems to monitor pupil absence, as current methods do not fully reveal whether strategies to improve attendance are effective.
- Teachers need to consistently check pupils’ understanding to identify and address misconceptions, preventing pupils from "repeating the same mistakes over time."
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
