About Calshot Primary School

Calshot Primary School sits in the middle of the pack academically when compared with other primary schools in Birmingham. Its headline metric, the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM), stands at 65% — just two percentage points above the local authority average of 63%. That places it 111th out of 292 primary schools in the borough, a solidly average position. The school is oversubscribed, with 124 applications for 56 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 50 of those 124 were first-preference choices. That level of demand suggests local families see it as a reliable, if not standout, option. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, a grade it has held consistently across inspections in 2012 and 2017, with an ungraded visit in 2023 confirming it remains Good. For context, only 28 of Birmingham's 292 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating, so Good is the norm here.
