Fordbridge Community Primary School
Birmingham, B37 5BU · Solihull · primary school
8th of 45 primary schools in Solihull we can score, 59 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 — 9.0/10 against 540 of them, against 7.2/10 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 | 74.0 · 76 | 40% | 3.02 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.18 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 74.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.2 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in Inclusive Sports and attend a residential visit. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 522 pupils in a capacity of 600, leaving 78 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late for the morning session, given there is no breakfast club? What specific activities are included in the Inclusive Sports programme? How does the school manage the transition for pupils moving to secondary education?
