About Reaside Academy

Reaside Academy, a state primary for pupils aged 7 to 11 in Birmingham, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in March 2023. The school has maintained this standard consistently; its previous inspection in November 2016 also rated overall effectiveness as Good. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 55% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Birmingham local authority average of 63%, placing Reaside in the bottom half of schools nationally and within the local area. The school ranks 187th out of 254 primary schools in Birmingham on this measure. However, the data also shows pockets of stronger performance: 70% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and average scaled scores of 103 in maths and 104 in reading are close to the national benchmark of 100.
