St Peter's Catholic School
Solihull, B91 3NZ · Solihull · secondary school
2nd of 15 secondary schools in Solihull we can score. 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 — 7.7/10 against 865 of them, against 7.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 59.3 · 81 | 46% | 3.75 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.32 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 53.4 · 81 | 15% | 1.25 |
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, 59.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 53.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.32 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.8 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Geography, Maths, and Coding Clubs, or the Eco Committee. Sports include football, netball, basketball, fencing, boxing, athletics, cricket, and dance. Arts and music options are choir and theatre. Trips go to Nepal, Bletchley Park, the Harry Potter Exhibition, Briars retreats, Spanish language destinations, and ski resorts.
Getting in. The school has 1311 pupils in a capacity of 1253 places, meaning it is over capacity by 58. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 58 places? What support is available for pupils who need extra help to maintain their progress? How are the various clubs and sports scheduled to ensure all interested students can participate?
