About Bordesley Village Primary School

Bordesley Village Primary School has been rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating. The 2021 graded inspection awarded Good across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. On the most telling academic metric for a primary school, 69% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits above the Birmingham local authority average of 63%, placing the school 83rd out of 254 primary schools in the area. The school also performs well on individual subjects: 81% of pupils reached the expected standard in maths, 74% in reading, and 83% in writing. At the higher standard, 19% achieved greater depth in maths, 24% in reading, and 14% in writing, though only 5% hit that level across all three subjects combined.
