Lift Four Dwellings Primary
About Lift Four Dwellings Primary
Lift Four Dwellings Primary sits well above the Birmingham average for its key stage 2 results, with 70% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 63%. That seven-point gap is a meaningful one in primary school terms, and it places the school in the top 30% nationally. The school also outperforms the LA average on individual subjects: 82% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, 77% in reading and 73% in writing. At the higher standard, 11% achieved the top marks across all three subjects, with maths particularly strong at 41% reaching the higher threshold. These figures are especially notable given that 63.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, suggesting the school is delivering solid academic progress for a cohort that often faces additional challenges.
