Raddlebarn Primary School
About Raddlebarn Primary School
Raddlebarn Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 metric sits just below the Birmingham average for its school type, with 61% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, against a local authority average of 63%. That places it 142nd out of 292 primary schools in Birmingham, squarely in the middle of the pack. The school’s ranking percentile of 56.3 within the LA tells a similar story: it’s performing broadly in line with the typical Birmingham primary, neither a standout nor a struggler. What’s more revealing is the breakdown beneath that headline figure. While the combined expected score is modest, individual subjects tell a different tale — reading (86% expected) and maths (73% expected) are notably stronger than writing (71% expected), and the school’s reading average score of 107 and maths average of 106 are both above the national benchmark of 100. So while the headline metric looks average, the school is pulling its weight in core areas, with writing being the clear drag.
