Check the area around this school
52nd of 88 secondary schools in Birmingham we can score, 89 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 — 7.3/10 against 399 of them, against 4.7/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 42.2 · 43 | 46% | 1.97 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.08 · 56 | 38% | 2.15 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 44.4 · 41 | 15% | 0.63 |
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 Hall Green School
Overview
Hall Green School provides a high-quality education where pupils "enjoy their learning" and "feel safe." The inspection found that the school sets "high expectations," resulting in improving outcomes, particularly for boys, within a "calm and orderly environment." Leaders have implemented an "ambitious and diverse curriculum" that is tailored to the school’s changing demographics and supports pupils with special educational needs effectively.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious and diverse," offering subjects like three Shakespeare texts and modern foreign languages from Year 7, with "strong take-up" in popular areas such as art and business.
- Pupils receive "effective additional support" in reading and for special educational needs, with the curriculum "skilfully adapted" to help them achieve lesson objectives.
- Personal development is enriched by a "wide and rich experience" beyond lessons, including numerous clubs such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme and debate club.
- Staff are "highly responsive and considerate of pupils’ well-being," earning national recognition for supporting physical education during Ramadhan.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure "the quality of assessment is consistently high across the school," particularly in key stage 3, to prevent errors and gaps in learning from being missed.
- All staff should "consistently apply the policies and procedures" regarding personal development content and behaviour management to avoid lost learning.
- The school needs to work with pupils to "instil the importance of punctuality," addressing issues where late arrivals cause students to miss essential learning.
Safeguarding
