Colmers Farm Primary School

About Colmers Farm Primary School

Colmers Farm Primary School sits well below the Birmingham local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, a gap that is hard to ignore when comparing its headline metrics. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 43%, compared with the LA average of 63% for primary schools. That 20-point difference places Colmers Farm in the bottom half of Birmingham primaries, ranked 236th out of 254 schools in the authority. The school’s ranking score of 43 puts it in the bottom 50% nationally too, at the 88th percentile from the bottom. These figures reflect a challenging context: 58% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, and the school is oversubscribed, with 135 applications for 47 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. Despite the academic headwinds, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least 2014, and its most recent inspection in 2023 found personal development to be Outstanding.
