Check the area around this school
40th 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 the 2,720 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.6/10 among them, against 8.4/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Getting in
The published school roll is 421 pupils against a stated capacity of 420. These whole-school figures do not establish entry-year vacancies or the likelihood of an offer. Confirm entry-year availability and admissions criteria with the school or local authority.
Worth asking on a visit
With the roll exceeding capacity by 1, how does the school manage class sizes for new entrants? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national average, what specific strategies are used to support pupil progress? How does the school ensure consistent support for pupils across all year groups?
What Ofsted said about Maney Hill Primary School
Overview
This ungraded inspection found that Maney Hill Primary School’s work “may have improved significantly across all areas” since its previous rating. The school is described as “high-performing,” where pupils “thrive” and demonstrate “exceptional” behaviour and a strong willingness to learn. Consequently, the next inspection will be a graded one to formally assess these improvements.
Strengths

- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “very well supported,” achieving “the same high standards” as their peers through tailored adaptations.
