Audley Primary School
About Audley Primary School
Audley Primary School’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2023, rated it Good overall, a clear improvement on its previous inspection when it was judged to require improvement. Every graded area — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — is now rated Good. The academic picture, however, is more mixed. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 58% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is below the Birmingham local authority average of 63%, placing the school 166th out of 254 primary schools in the city, in the bottom half nationally. Just 7% of pupils achieved the higher standard in all three subjects. The school serves a community where 61% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, which provides important context for these results.
