104th 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 — 6.5/10 against 2,592 of them, against 5.5/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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 Kings Heath Primary School
Overview
Kings Heath Primary School is rated as ‘Good’ across all inspection categories. Leaders have driven ‘significant changes’ since the previous inspection, fostering a positive environment where pupils ‘enjoy attending’ and feel safe. The school offers a broad curriculum with strong support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
Strengths
- Leaders have established ‘clear sequences of learning’ in mathematics and phonics, ensuring pupils build knowledge over time and read ‘fluently and with enjoyment’.
- There are ‘strong, caring relationships’ between staff and pupils, with high expectations for behaviour and respectful interactions.
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities, such as clubs and trips, which help them ‘develop their interests and build character’.
- Support for pupils with additional needs is ‘quickly identified’ and implemented, ensuring no child is ‘left behind’.
- Parents ‘speak highly of the school’, and governors share leaders’ vision for pupil success.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure curriculum changes are fully embedded and that all staff ‘deliver and implement what leaders intend effectively across the curriculum’, particularly in subjects less established than maths and phonics.
- Leaders must use data with ‘sufficient focus’ to identify patterns or trends, enabling them to ‘evaluate proactively the impact’ of their actions.
- Small incidents of poor behaviour are not always recorded, missing opportunities to address patterns; leaders should also check that extra-curricular uptake is strong across all pupil groups.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are ‘effective’, with staff trained to spot risks and leaders engaging appropriate external support where needed.
