Bournville Village Primary
Birmingham, B30 1JY · Birmingham · primary school
45th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 8.4/10 against 4,325 of them, against 8.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (8.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Friendship Bracelets, Card, Dinosaur, Lego, and Colouring clubs, or explore Music Technology, Recorder, and Electro-music. Sports include football and outdoor games. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 652 pupils in a capacity of 654 places, leaving just 2 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school manage the waiting list for new admissions? Since the last inspection was in early 2024, what specific improvements have been made to the curriculum since then? How do the breakfast and after-school clubs integrate with the main school day for families needing wraparound care?
