About Christ Church CofE Controlled Primary School and Nursery

Christ Church CofE Controlled Primary School and Nursery in Birmingham has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a significant achievement that places it among just 28 primary schools in the local authority to hold that top grade. The school’s most recent inspection, in March 2024, confirmed it remains Outstanding, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all judged to be at the highest level. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more nuanced story. At Key Stage 2, 57% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the Birmingham local authority average of 63%. This places Christ Church in the bottom half of primary schools nationally, ranking 174th out of 254 in the LA. The school’s ranking score of 57 puts it in the bottom 50% tier, suggesting that while Ofsted judges the school’s overall quality as outstanding, its raw academic results are more mixed.
