Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
4.8/10 Broadly average

137th 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 — 6.0/10 against 1,219 of them, against 4.6/10 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 63.0 · 46 40% 1.86

Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 6.0 · 45 25% 1.12

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

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 63.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.6 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. There are 361 pupils in a school with 360 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single place over capacity for new admissions? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the expected standard in maths? How does the school maintain its Good rating following the 2023 inspection?
