Holywell Primary and Nursery School
Birmingham, B45 9EY · Worcestershire · primary school
86th of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 — 5.3/10 against 2,941 of them, against 4.9/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 42% | 2.72 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 32% | 0.10 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 26% | 0.62 |
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 2.0% reached the higher standard. The school was last inspected in 2021-10 and rated Requires improvement. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 409 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 11 spare places. With so few vacancies, places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school plan to address the Requires improvement rating from the 2021-10 inspection? What specific steps are being taken to raise the 2.0% of pupils reaching the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its 11 remaining places?
