Check the area around this school
232nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.2/10 against 810 of them, against 1.1/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.42 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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 Sundridge Primary School
Overview

The report describes a welcoming environment where pupils are happy, well-behaved, and feel safe, with strong relationships between staff and students. Leaders are praised for their ambition and effective collaboration with external agencies to support families.
Strengths
- Reading is a high priority, with effective phonics teaching and timely support for those finding it difficult.
- Pupils have a strong voice in school life, contributing to decisions such as reviewing the behaviour policy.
- The curriculum is enriched by carefully chosen activities, including daily swimming sessions and visiting theatre groups.
- Staff adapt work appropriately for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to ensure they work towards the same outcomes as their peers.
- The early years provision offers an attractive, stimulating environment that effectively prepares children for Year 1.
Areas to improve
- The school must analyse collected information more sharply to identify barriers affecting attendance and participation in after-school clubs.
- In some foundation subjects, key knowledge and concepts have not yet been clearly identified, hindering pupils’ ability to build on previous learning.
- Strategies are needed to ensure all pupils, particularly the most able, are consistently challenged to deepen their learning rather than repeating known work.
