Ofsted: Requires improvement · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary
0.7/10 Well below average

257th 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 — 1.4/10 against 331 of them, against 0.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting expected standards in maths? What specific actions have been taken since the 2022 inspection to address the areas requiring improvement? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the limited number of available places?
