123rd 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 — 7.1/10 against 740 of them, against 4.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 61.0 · 41 | 40% | 1.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 World's End Junior School
Overview
World’s End Junior School continues to be a good school, where pupils are "enthusiastic about their learning" and benefit from a "nurturing approach." Leaders have established a "broad and ambitious" curriculum that provides strong foundations in core subjects, supported by high staff morale and effective governance.
Strengths
- The curriculum is carefully sequenced to help pupils "build their knowledge securely over time," with particular success in mathematics, reading, and writing.
- Staff possess "good subject knowledge" and deliver content clearly, ensuring pupils regularly recap previous learning to retain important facts.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive timely support, allowing them to "access the same curriculum as their peers."
- A dedicated phonics programme helps pupils who struggle with early reading to "catch up quickly" and become "confident and fluent readers."
- The school offers an "impressive range of opportunities" for broader development, including music concerts, drama, and leadership roles.
Areas to improve
- Some pupils lack the skills to "communicate their knowledge and understanding well," meaning they struggle to make links between their learning and do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should ensure staff receive appropriate training to address this.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders making the right checks, staff receiving regular training, and detailed records showing a "swift response to following up concerns raised."
