Whitehouse Common Primary School
Sutton Coldfield, B75 6BL · Birmingham · primary school
46th 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 3,912 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.8/10 among them, against 8.3/10 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 | 79.0 · 86 | 40% | 3.43 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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, 79.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.8 out of 10 among them, against 8.3 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the KDDK Dance Club, Choir, J C Academy Football, and JC Academy Sports Club, alongside music lessons. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 445 pupils in a capacity of 480, leaving 35 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific activities are offered in the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for new starters given the current pupil numbers?
