Check the area around this school
25th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.7/10 against 3,480 of them, against 9.7/10 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 | 92.0 · 98 | 40% | 3.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 24.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.38 |
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 Coppice Primary School
Overview
Coppice Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils enjoy their lessons, behave well, and feel safe, with staff holding "lofty expectations" for achievement. The school provides a broad, ambitious curriculum and extensive extra-curricular opportunities that help build independence and life skills.
Strengths
- Children get off to a "positive start" in the early years, with phonics "well taught" to help them become "confident, fluent readers".
- The revised curriculum is "broad and ambitious" and "carefully sequenced", enabling pupils to build on prior learning and achieve high outcomes by Year 6.
- Staff "skilfully identify" pupils falling behind in reading and provide swift help, while attendance is tracked "forensically" to support regular attendance.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "swiftly identified" and receive "carefully designed programmes of support" that impact positively on learning.
- Leaders have sustained performance during change, reducing staff workload while maintaining high parental enthusiasm and pupil happiness.
Areas to improve
- Teachers do not consistently model subject-specific vocabulary with enough precision, leading to confusion for some pupils about task expectations.
- Assessment of pupil understanding is not always systematic or accurate enough, hindering opportunities for pupils to fully deepen their knowledge.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
