Birmingham, B20 3DP · Birmingham · secondary school
53rd of 85 secondary schools in Birmingham we can score, 89 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 — 6.6/10 against 173 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 34.3 · 26 | 30% | 0.79 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.05 · 54 | 25% | 1.35 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 42.7 · 33 | 10% | 0.33 |
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, 34.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 42.7, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.05 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the STEM Club, Cadet Force, Rock Band, and Academy Choir. Sports include Basketball, Cricket, and Football academies. Trips cover Portugal, the Malvern Hills, universities, and theatre companies. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 1271 pupils in a school with 1300 places, leaving 29 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need to catch up on attainment? What specific support is available for students joining the Cadet Force? How accessible are the university and theatre visits for all year groups?
