St Mark's Catholic Primary School
Birmingham, B42 1NU · Birmingham · primary school
205th 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 — 4.4/10 against 1,591 of them, against 3.5/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 62% | 2.40 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 38% | 1.13 |
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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 3.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Tae Kwondo, multi-sports, football, dance, cricket, and basketball clubs. The school also provides a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 208 pupils in a school with 210 places, leaving 2 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With only 2 places remaining, how does the school handle waitlists for new starters? How does the breakfast club support pupils who arrive before the school day begins? What specific support is available for the 3.0% of pupils who reached the higher standard?
