Check the area around this school
63rd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.2/10 against 4,298 of them, against 6.5/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 62% | 3.03 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 19.0 · 90 | 38% | 3.48 |
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 Mere Green Primary School
Overview
Mere Green Primary School is an outstanding school that provides a high-quality education, excellent behaviour and attitudes, and outstanding personal development. The school has a strong leadership and management team that works closely with the trust to ensure that every decision centres around pupils.
Strengths
- Pupils develop a strong thirst to explore and learn from the moment they start school, showing high levels of curiosity and excellent behaviour.
- The school's bespoke approach of 'let's look back, let's learn and let's think and link' brings learning to life, and pupils share their personal art galleries, recalling and discussing artists and the techniques they used in their own artwork.
- Pupils quickly gain the mechanics of reading and move beyond this to develop an enjoyment and appreciation of reading and different types of books.
- The school provides a range of clubs and residential visits that pupils love, and the extra-curricular offer is extensive, stimulating and links to, but extends well beyond, the school's academic curriculum.
- The school recognises the importance of reading as a gateway to learning in the wider curriculum and provides well-considered support for pupils' behaviour, attendance and emotions when they need it.
Areas to improve
- On occasion, the school does not ensure that teachers' assessment is used effectively to move pupils' learning forward and build on prior learning, which means that some pupils do not achieve quite as well as they could.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
