About Boldmere Junior School

Boldmere Junior School’s Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 academic year show that 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is just one percentage point above the Birmingham local authority average of 63%. That places the school in a solid, middle-of-the-pack position within the city, ranking 113th out of 254 primary schools. Where Boldmere really stands out is in reading: 87% of pupils hit the expected standard and 46% achieved a higher score, both well above typical LA figures. The average reading score of 109 is notably strong. Maths is more mixed — 77% reached the expected level and the average score was 106, but only 33% achieved a higher score. Writing is the weakest area, with 71% at expected and just 16% at the higher standard. Overall, Boldmere is a dependable, above-average performer in Birmingham, particularly for reading, but not among the very top tier of schools in the authority.
