About Aston Tower Community Primary School

Aston Tower Community Primary School sits in the middle of the pack for Birmingham primary schools, with 61% of its Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined in the 2023/24 academic year. That is almost exactly in line with the Birmingham local authority average of 63%, placing the school at 147th out of 292 primaries in the city. The school’s ranking score of 61 puts it in the bottom half nationally, but the picture is more nuanced than that headline suggests. In maths, 82% of pupils met the expected standard, well above the national benchmark, and the average maths score of 106 is solid. Reading and writing expected rates are lower, at 69% and 71% respectively, which drags the combined figure down. The school also achieved a higher-than-expected standard in maths for 39% of pupils, and 39% reached that level in reading too, so there are pockets of strong performance.
