Check the area around this school
125th 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 — 7.2/10 against 551 of them, against 5.0/10 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 | 69.0 · 63 | 62% | 3.86 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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 Holy Family Catholic Primary School
Overview
Holy Family Catholic Primary School is described as a place where every child is "welcomed and nurtured," fostering an environment where pupils feel "valued and safe." The school maintains a "calm and orderly" atmosphere with high expectations for behaviour, while leaders demonstrate a "clear vision" and are "ambitious for the school."
Strengths
- The curriculum is "ambitious" and "organised well," with language and communication placed "at the heart" to support pupils speaking English as an additional language.
- Teachers possess "good subject knowledge" and use effective strategies, such as recapping information and frequent checks, to help pupils "retain knowledge and skills."
- The school "successfully promotes a love of reading," ensuring children who struggle are "identified quickly" and receive targeted support to catch up.
- Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is "managed and organised... well," ensuring they have the same opportunities as their peers.
- Pupils develop a "strong sense of belonging" through community involvement, such as litter-picking events and supporting refugees, alongside opportunities for leadership and extracurricular clubs.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure all staff have the necessary expertise and training to meet the needs of pupils with SEND, as some do not currently receive "precise support" consistently.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
