51st 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 — 8.6/10 against 3,295 of them, against 7.9/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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 Peters CofE Primary School
Overview
St Peters CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a high-quality education that has strengthened since the previous inspection. Leaders have made informed decisions to improve teaching and curriculum, resulting in strong standards in English and mathematics and a positive, inclusive school community.
Strengths
- Pupils respond well to "high expectations for behaviour and learning," with lessons running smoothly and standards in English and mathematics being "strong."
- The teaching of early reading is "even stronger than before," with daily phonics lessons and additional tuition ensuring pupils develop fluency and an "impressive knowledge of different authors."
- Relationships are "caring, supportive and reflect the school’s Christian values," with bullying being uncommon and pupils taught how to report it.
- The school provides a "worthwhile curriculum" enriched by outdoor learning, trips, and residential stays, supporting pupils to "take responsibility and show initiative."
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is effective, with a "well-trained SEND team" ensuring accurate identification of needs and full participation in school life.
Areas to improve
- Curriculum sequencing in some foundation subjects is less developed than in others; leaders must strengthen this so pupils can make the "best possible progress in all subjects."
- The new personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum is at an early stage; the school must ensure all staff understand how to implement it well through planned training.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with informed and attentive routines keeping pupils safe and promoting good behaviour.
