Check the area around this school
43rd 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 — 9.6/10 against 850 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 25% | 2.35 |
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 Twickenham Primary School
Overview
Twickenham Primary School continues to be a good school, where leaders set high aspirations and pupils are encouraged to ‘be all you can be’. The report highlights that pupils are happy, safe, and achieve well academically, with a strong emphasis on reading and positive behaviour.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘happy and safe’, with incidents of poor behaviour and bullying being rare.
- Leaders have designed a ‘well-structured curriculum’ that sets high expectations for all pupils.
- Early reading is ‘well taught’, with staff receiving regular training, particularly in phonics.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and disadvantaged pupils are ‘very well supported’.
- Activities beyond the academic curriculum, such as clubs and trips, help pupils develop confidence and curiosity.
Areas to improve
- Leaders need to improve communication with parents by listening to their concerns and taking swift action to resolve issues.
- Leaders must ensure all pupils in key stage 2 are taught a modern foreign language, specifically by supporting teachers to plan and teach French confidently.
- Leaders should support staff to check on children’s early writing effectively to address struggles with pencil grip.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving regular training and understanding different risks, including child-on-child abuse.
