Shirley Heath Junior School
Solihull, B90 3DS · Solihull · primary school
26th of 45 primary schools in Solihull we can score, 59 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 — 6.0/10 against 3,954 of them, against 5.9/10 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% | 3.04 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Cookery, Martial Arts, Choir, Dance, Gymnastics, Science Club, and Rock Band clubs, alongside sports like Dodgeball, Football, Cricket, and Netball, plus Ballet. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 420 pupils in a school with 420 places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 420 available places? What support is offered to pupils who do not reach the expected standard in their core subjects? How does the after-school club operate for families who need care after the school day ends?
