105th 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 — 7.7/10 against 675 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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 Oasis Academy Boulton
Overview
Oasis Academy Boulton has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The school is described as an “inclusive, safe and welcoming place” where pupils from diverse backgrounds respect one another and achieve strong results by the end of Year 6. It serves its local community well, providing a “safe haven where they can flourish” with high expectations for behaviour and academic goals.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate strong achievement in reading and mathematics, with most being “well prepared for secondary school.”
- The school fosters positive personal development through the ‘Oasis habits’, encouraging pupils to be “patient, forgiving, humble, self-controlled, honest, considerate, joyful, hopeful and compassionate.”
- Attendance has improved significantly due to targeted support, leadership roles for pupils, and “positive engagement with parents.”
- New pupils settle in quickly, and staff respond swiftly to any upsets, ensuring playtimes and lessons run smoothly.
- Parents praise the “quality of communication, care and support for families,” views supported by inspection evidence.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure the curriculum in some subjects provides sufficient opportunities for pupils to revisit and use key basic knowledge, as pupils sometimes forget important content.
- Assessment practices require refinement to target deeper knowledge rather than short-term recall, supporting pupils in remembering crucial subject-specific information.
- Provision for phonics requires further work to strengthen consistency and boost achievement in key stage 1.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
