Check the area around this school
216th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.6/10 against 653 of them, against 3.0/10 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 | 55.0 · 27 | 62% | 1.69 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 38% | 1.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Greet Primary School is described as "warm, welcoming and inclusive," with a mission that "all pupils understand that there are no limits to what they can achieve." Pupils typically achieve well across all subject areas and feel safe, benefiting from high expectations and a curriculum that is "ambitious for all pupils."
Strengths

Areas to improve
- The school must ensure learning is "consistently and effectively adapted" to meet the needs of all pupils, as some work does not precisely suit individual requirements.
- Assessment in foundation subjects and early years needs development to ensure the school "always identify and address the gaps that pupils have in their learning."
- The school should provide more opportunities for parents to share opinions, as some do not feel "fully informed about the work of the school."
