About Ladypool Primary School
Ladypool Primary School sits within the Birmingham local authority, a large and diverse primary landscape where competition for places is fierce. Among the 292 state primary schools in the city, Ladypool ranks 186th based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, placing it in the bottom half nationally. Its top-performing local peers include Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which achieve significantly higher ranking scores. The school is led by headteacher Razwana Saghir and serves 248 pupils, well below its capacity of 420. It is a non-religious, mixed-gender state primary with nursery provision, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 confirmed a Good rating, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement in 2015.
