About Guardian Angels Catholic Primary School

Guardian Angels Catholic Primary School sits slightly below the Birmingham local authority average for Key Stage 2 performance, with 59% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 63%. That four-percentage-point gap places the school in the bottom half of primary schools in Birmingham, ranked 163rd out of 254. The school’s reading and maths average scores — 103 and 101 respectively — are close to the national benchmark of 100, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in all three subjects is just 14%, which is modest. Given that over half of its pupils (51.7%) are eligible for free school meals, these results should be read in context: the school is serving a community with significant socio-economic challenges, and its outcomes are broadly in line with what you might expect for a school with this intake profile.
