About Heath Mount Primary School

Heath Mount Primary School’s headline metrics place it well below the Birmingham local authority average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, just 36% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63%. That gap of 27 percentage points is significant and positions the school at 248th out of 254 primary schools in Birmingham, putting it in the bottom 2.4% of the LA. The school also ranks in the bottom 5% nationally. With 57.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is notably disadvantaged, which provides important context for these outcomes. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2019, rated it as Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management also Requires Improvement, though early years provision was judged Good.
