Gilbertstone Primary School
Birmingham, B26 1EH · Birmingham · primary school
67th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.3/10 against 1,801 of them, against 7.0/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| 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, 70.0% 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 May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access swimming, athletics, dance, gymnastics, invasion, net and wall, outdoor and adventure, and striking and fielding activities. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 411 pupils in a capacity of 446 places, leaving 35 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive late due to the lack of a breakfast club? What specific support is offered to the 13.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the curriculum balance the wide range of sports with academic preparation?
