About Shaw Hill Primary School

Shaw Hill Primary School in Birmingham has been rated Outstanding by Ofsted, a grade it has held since its last graded inspection in 2017 and which was confirmed as still accurate in an ungraded inspection in 2023. That 2017 inspection awarded top marks across the board, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Outstanding. The school’s most recent exam data tells a strong story too. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests, 70% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is comfortably above the Birmingham local authority average of 63% for the same measure. The school also performs well at the higher standard, with 11% of pupils achieving that level across all three subjects. In reading, 54% of children reached the higher standard, and in maths the figure was 61%, suggesting a particular strength in numeracy.
