About Park Hill Primary School

Park Hill Primary School in Birmingham sits in a tricky spot compared with the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 60%, which is three percentage points below the Birmingham average of 63%. That gap is modest but consistent across individual subjects too: 79% hit the expected standard in reading, 71% in maths and 69% in writing. Where the school really diverges from the LA picture is at the higher end — just 5% of pupils achieved the higher standard across all three subjects, and the school ranks in the bottom half nationally on this metric, sitting at the 58th percentile. It’s worth noting, though, that the school serves a community with 41.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, so context matters when reading these figures.
