Topcliffe Primary School
Birmingham, B35 6BS · Birmingham · primary school
258th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 0.5/10 against 184 of them, against 0.5/10 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 | 20.0 · 1 | 62% | 0.07 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 38% | 0.40 |
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, 20.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (0.5 out of 10 either way).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils attend Sports Day and visit Woodlands. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 249 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 39. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What specific support is available for children who need help with their learning outside of school hours? How does the school manage the high demand for places given the current over-capacity status?
