St Margaret Mary RC Junior and Infant School
Birmingham, B23 7AB · Birmingham · primary school
35th 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 — 8.9/10 against 1,170 of them, against 7.6/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 62% | 4.35 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 38% | 3.21 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Book Club, Chess Club, and Art Club, play netball, and visit Cannon Hill Nature Centre. The school has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 353 pupils in a school with 315 places, meaning it is over capacity by 38. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places given it is currently over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the expected standard? How do parents arrange care before and after school hours since no wraparound clubs are offered?
