About Hollyfield Primary School

Hollyfield Primary School in Birmingham was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, a significant improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 52%. That figure is notably below the Birmingham local authority average of 63%, placing Hollyfield in the bottom half of primary schools nationally and within the bottom 50% of schools in the West Midlands region. The school’s ranking score of 52 out of 100 reflects this, and it sits 206th out of 254 primary schools in Birmingham. While the headline combined figure is lower than the local average, individual subject results tell a slightly different story: 77% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 74% did so in writing, with reading at 62%.
