Windy Arbor Primary School
Birmingham, B37 6RN · Solihull · primary school
38th of 45 primary schools in Solihull we can score, 59 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 — 7.9/10 against 706 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 10 | 35% | 0.37 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 66.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join a choir and Forest School, with opportunities to play ukeleles and guitars. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 410 pupils in a capacity of 464 places, leaving 54 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 11.0% aiming for the higher standard? How does the Forest School curriculum integrate with daily lessons?
