Check the area around this school
179th 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 — 5.2/10 against 661 of them, against 3.4/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| 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 Redhill Primary School
Overview
Redhill Primary School is described as a "caring and nurturing school where pupils feel safe," with an overall effectiveness judged as Good. The report highlights "excellent" behaviour and attitudes, noting that pupils are "respectful and tolerant" and enthusiastic learners who thrive in a highly inclusive environment.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "excellent manners" and positive attitudes, with low-level or off-task behaviour being "very rare."
- The school has a "highly inclusive ethos," ensuring pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are "fully integrated" and well supported.
- Leaders have developed a "broad and ambitious curriculum" where learning is "mainly well sequenced" and builds on prior knowledge.
- Early reading is strong, with a "well embedded" phonics scheme that helps pupils become "confident and enthusiastic readers."
- Staff well-being is prioritised, and staff feel "well supported by leaders."
Areas to improve
- In a few foundation subjects, leaders must identify the "precise knowledge and skills" pupils should learn to ensure intended outcomes are met.
- Leaders need to ensure staff deliver activities that help pupils "learn in sufficient depth," as current choices do not always support deeper insight.
- Governors must develop a "strategic understanding" of the curriculum and effectively monitor the impact of leaders’ actions on school improvement.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with a "strong culture of safeguarding" where staff are trained to identify risks and work closely with external agencies.
