St Gerard's Catholic Primary School
Birmingham, B35 6LB · Birmingham · primary school
60th of 259 primary schools in Birmingham we can score, 293 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 1,374 of them, against 7.3/10 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 | 80.0 · 88 | 40% | 3.51 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 80.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Cafod Club, Altar Servers, Reading Ambassadors, Junior PCSOs, Gift Team, School Council, House Captains, or Play Leaders. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 235 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 25. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How do parents arrange care before and after school hours?
