About Oasis Academy Foundry

Oasis Academy Foundry stands out sharply against the Birmingham primary average. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, 69% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63%. That six-point gap is meaningful, and it places the school in the top 50 nationally for this metric. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 68 total applications, with 32 first-preference families competing for just 29 first-preference offers. That oversubscription ratio of 2.34 tells you local parents are voting with their feet. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2023 judged it Outstanding overall, a significant upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2016. Inspectors awarded top marks for quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management, with early years provision rated Good.
