Four Oaks Primary School
Sutton Coldfield, B74 4PA · Birmingham · primary school
2nd 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 — 9.7/10 against 3,562 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 | 93.0 · 99 | 62% | 6.08 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 38% | 3.64 |
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, 93.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. A further 23.0% reached the higher standard. 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 (9.7 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the MMA Club, French Club, Movers and Makers Art and Craft Club, or Gymnastrix. Sports include football and netball, alongside musical instrument tuition. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 420 pupils in a school with 420 places. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With no breakfast club, how do you support families who need early morning care? Since the school is at full capacity, what is the process for securing a place if a sibling joins? How does the curriculum support the 23.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard to ensure they remain challenged?
