About City Road Primary School

City Road Primary School sits within the Birmingham local authority, a large and varied primary landscape where it ranks 121st out of 254 schools of the same type. That places it in the top half of Birmingham primaries, though some distance behind the local top performers: Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest all hold higher ranking scores. The school is rated Good overall by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2023, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. Under headteacher Shaukat Islam, the school has seen its leadership and management, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision all judged Good. With 454 pupils on roll against a capacity of 459, the school is close to full, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three.
