About Cotteridge Primary School

Cotteridge Primary School sits within Birmingham’s large and varied primary landscape, where 292 state schools serve families across the city. In the most recent local rankings, the school placed 93rd out of those 292, putting it comfortably in the top third of Birmingham primaries. That’s a solid position, though it sits behind a handful of particularly strong local peers — Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest all rank higher. For context, only 28 schools in the local authority currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, and the nearest one to Cotteridge is Colmore Infant and Nursery School, about 1.9 kilometres away. Cotteridge itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2012. The school has held Good across both leadership and management and overall effectiveness since its 2014 graded inspection, and an ungraded visit in 2023 confirmed it remains Good.
