Holy Family Catholic Primary School
About Holy Family Catholic Primary School
Holy Family Catholic Primary School sits almost exactly at the Birmingham average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 63 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — matching the local authority average for primary schools. That places it 128th out of 254 schools in Birmingham, right in the middle of the pack. Where the school does stand out is in its maths outcomes: 80 per cent of pupils hit the expected standard in maths, well above the typical primary school in the city, and the average maths score of 106 is a solid notch above the national benchmark of 100. Reading and writing expected rates are 70 per cent and 73 per cent respectively, both respectable but not exceptional. The proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is 13 per cent, which is modest. For a small school with 233 pupils and a high proportion of children eligible for free school meals — 53.6 per cent — these results suggest the school is doing a steady job of getting most children to where they need to be, particularly in maths.
