About Brookfields Primary School

Brookfields Primary School in Birmingham has turned a significant corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a dramatic improvement from its previous inspection in 2017 when it was judged Inadequate. Every category inspected — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was rated Good. This turnaround is the headline story, but the exam data tells a more nuanced tale. At Key Stage 2, 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is slightly below the Birmingham local authority average of 63%. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 103, exactly in line with the national average for these tests. However, only 10% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, at the 60th percentile.
