About Birchfield Primary School

Birchfield Primary School sits within the Birmingham local authority, a large and varied primary landscape of 292 schools. In the most recent KS2 rankings, the school placed 213th out of 254 in the LA, placing it in the bottom half of Birmingham primaries. For context, the top-performing peers nearby include Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, each scoring in the 90s on the ranking metric. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Prince Albert Junior and Infant School, just 0.7 kilometres away. Birchfield itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous overall rating of Inadequate in 2017. That earlier inspection had also rated leadership and management as Inadequate, but the 2022 report found all areas — including leadership, behaviour, personal development, and early years provision — to be Good.
