E-ACT Nechells Academy
About E-ACT Nechells Academy
E-ACT Nechells Academy’s headline KS2 results sit well below the Birmingham local authority average, which is a significant point for parents to weigh up. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 20% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 63%. That places the school 253rd out of 254 primary schools in Birmingham, putting it in the bottom 1% locally. The school’s individual subject scores also lag behind: 50% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 43% in reading and 37% in writing. No pupils achieved the higher standard in maths or writing, and only 10% did so in reading. These figures reflect a school serving a community with very high levels of disadvantage — 69.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average — and the context is important when interpreting the raw results.
