200th 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 — 4.0/10 against 527 of them, against 2.7/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| 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 Turves Green Primary School
Overview
Turves Green Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The school provides a “calm, nurturing environment” where pupils are “happy and safe” and generally achieve well. Leaders remain “highly ambitious for all pupils,” ensuring that decisions are made in the best interests of children.
Strengths
- The school has “meticulously set out an ambitious curriculum” with knowledge and skills “carefully sequenced so that learning builds up over time.”
- Teachers “check pupils learning in lessons and over time effectively,” swiftly addressing misconceptions and providing clear feedback.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are “well supported to be successful in school” and “achieve well.”
- The “carefully designed enrichment offer” prepares pupils to become “responsible, respectful and active citizens,” including visits to places of worship and democratic roles.
- Staff feel valued, enjoying working at the school and appreciating support for their “workload and well-being.”
Areas to improve
- The school must strengthen strategies to reduce absences and increase punctuality, as some pupils “miss out on valuable learning.”
- Activities selected for independent work do not always provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to “build on and extend their learning,” meaning some do not learn as deeply as intended.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
