72nd 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 — 8.7/10 against 308 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| 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 St Anne's Catholic Primary School
Overview
St Anne’s Catholic Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. It is described as a “welcoming and inclusive school” where pupils feel they belong to the ‘St Anne’s family’ and are “happy, safe and secure.” The school fosters a strong sense of community, with high attendance and a curriculum that prepares pupils well for the next phase of their education.
Strengths
- The school provides “good support” for behaviour and well-being, including quiet spaces for pupils to calm down.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “welcomed into every aspect of school life” and achieve well through tailored support.
- Staff are “skilled in teaching phonics,” helping pupils become “confident and fluent readers,” with many exceeding expected standards by Year 6.
- The curriculum is “ambitious” and includes a programme of ‘must do’ activities, such as visits to museums and the theatre, which help pupils become “responsible citizens.”
- Teachers “skilfully engage” pupils’ interest, ensuring they use correct technical vocabulary and build “secure and consistent knowledge.”
Areas to improve
- Strengthen understanding of how knowledge develops in the early years so that expectations are “suitably high in key stage 1.”
- Ensure checks on pupils’ learning are effective across all subjects to address gaps in knowledge, as current arrangements are “not secure” in some areas.
- Strengthen governors’ oversight to ensure the school is held to account for the effectiveness of actions, such as the impact of pupil premium funding.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
