About Severne Junior Infant and Nursery School

Severne Junior Infant and Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. In its 2022 graded inspection, inspectors awarded Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. The most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 63 per cent. That figure is identical to the Birmingham local authority average for primary schools, placing Severne squarely in the middle of the pack. Nationally, the school sits at the 49th percentile on this measure, and within Birmingham it ranks 126th out of 254 primaries. Given that 71.5 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — this solidly average result represents a strong outcome for a school serving a significantly disadvantaged community.
