About Conway Primary School

Conway Primary School’s Key Stage 2 results sit below the Birmingham average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 57% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 63%. That places the school in the bottom half of Birmingham primaries, ranked 168th out of 254. The gap is most noticeable in reading, where 64% met the expected standard, and in the proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects, which stands at just 5%. On the other hand, maths is a relative strength: 79% of pupils achieved the expected standard, and the average maths score of 103 is in line with national norms. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024 rated it Good across all areas, including early years provision, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership. That’s a consistent outcome — the previous inspection in 2012 also awarded a Good rating.
