About Bellfield Junior School

Bellfield Junior School sits just above the Birmingham local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 64% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 63%. That slim margin might not sound dramatic, but it’s worth noting given the school’s context: over half its pupils (57.9%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average. The school ranks 117th out of 254 primary schools in Birmingham, placing it in the top half of the authority. Its regional ranking in the West Midlands is similarly solid, sitting in the 45th percentile. While it’s not among the top performers locally — the nearest outstanding school, Princethorpe Infant School, is 2.2 km away — Bellfield holds a steady Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across inspections in 2012 and 2022.
