Heathfield Primary School
About Heathfield Primary School
Heathfield Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well above the Birmingham average for primary schools. In the 2023/24 academic year, 70% of its pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63%. That seven-point gap places the school in the top 30% nationally and in the top quarter of Birmingham primaries, ranked 71st out of 254. The school also outperforms the LA norm in individual subjects: 87% hit the expected standard in maths, 78% in reading and 79% in writing. At the higher standard, maths stands out with 43% of pupils achieving it, while reading and writing trail at 18% and 10% respectively. The average maths score of 108 is notably strong. This is a school that clearly delivers solid academic foundations, particularly in mathematics, and does so in a context where over half its pupils (54.8%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.
