4.4/10 Broadly average

51st of 85 secondary schools in Birmingham we can score, 89 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 — 6.5/10 against 349 of them, against 3.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 39.7% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 37.3, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.01 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than those nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Combined Cadet Force or Duke of Edinburgh, and visit Stockholm, RAF Cosford, or Drayton Manor.

Getting in. The school has 538 pupils in a capacity of 625, leaving 87 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are below the national median in attainment? What specific support is available for those aiming for the Duke of Edinburgh award? How does the CCF programme integrate with the wider curriculum?
