Nansen Primary School
Birmingham, B8 3HG · Birmingham · primary school
223rd of 259 primary schools in Birmingham we can score, 293 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 — 5.1/10 against 967 of them, against 3.7/10 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 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.66 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (5.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 606 pupils in a school with 920 places, leaving 314 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How do the smaller class sizes affect individual support for pupils? What specific activities take place during the breakfast and after-school clubs? How does the school track progress for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard?
