About Bordesley Green Primary School

Bordesley Green Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2023, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all received a Good judgement. However, the most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 44 per cent. This is significantly below the Birmingham local authority average of 63 per cent, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 87th percentile. While the school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 101, the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in these subjects is low, with 16 per cent in reading and 12 per cent in maths, and no pupils reaching the higher standard in writing.
