153rd 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 3,892 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.9/10 among them, against 4.4/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Quinton Church Primary School
Overview
Quinton Church Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes a “calm and purposeful place” where pupils “really enjoy their learning” and behave very well. Leaders have implemented a broad, challenging curriculum that prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe due to strong staff relationships and a culture of being “kind, fair and thankful.”
- Reading is a “top priority,” with a structured phonics programme ensuring pupils learn to read “quickly and fluently.”
- The school identifies the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively, allowing them to make “strong progress.”
- Staff workload is considered, and the trust provides “effective oversight and guidance.”
- Early years provision offers a “good start” with carefully constructed activities and well-established routines.
Areas to improve
- Assessments of pupils’ learning are not always careful enough, meaning teachers’ understanding of pupil knowledge can be “inaccurate.”
- Monitoring in subjects other than English and mathematics is in the “early stages of development,” restricting the school’s ability to improve learning further.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
