Gilbertstone Primary School
About Gilbertstone Primary School
Gilbertstone Primary School sits comfortably above the Birmingham average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 71% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That compares favourably against the local authority average of 63% for primary schools, placing the school in the top quarter of Birmingham primaries. Its ranking of 63rd out of 254 in the LA puts it in the top 25% locally, and nationally it sits in the 28th percentile. The school is clearly performing better than many of its Birmingham counterparts, though it is not among the very top tier — the highest-ranked local peers, such as Little Sutton Primary School, achieve a ranking score of 95 compared with Gilbertstone’s 71. Still, for a school where over a third of pupils (36.7%) are eligible for free school meals, these results represent solid academic delivery.
