Kings Heath Secondary School
Birmingham, B13 0QP · Birmingham · secondary school
54th of 85 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 — 6.1/10 against 268 of them, against 3.5/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 39.7 · 40 | 30% | 1.19 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.19 · 36 | 25% | 0.89 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 40.0 · 21 | 10% | 0.21 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 39.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 40.0, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.19 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Drama Club and attend the UKSA Trip. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. There are 794 pupils in a school with 806 places, leaving 12 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to close the gap between their Attainment 8 score and the national median? What specific support is available for students aiming to improve their Progress 8 scores? How does the after-school club operate for pupils who need care after the school day ends?
