About St Dunstan's Catholic Primary School

St Dunstan's Catholic Primary School sits within the Birmingham local authority, where it ranks 47th out of 254 primary schools — comfortably inside the top 20 per cent of its peers. The three highest-scoring schools in the same LA are Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which outrank St Dunstan's on the same metric. Still, the school's position is strong, and it is one of a relatively small number of Birmingham primaries rated Good or better; only 28 schools in the LA hold an Outstanding grade, the nearest being Colmore Infant and Nursery School, 0.8 kilometres away. St Dunstan's is a Roman Catholic state primary for mixed pupils aged three to eleven, with a nursery on site. Headteacher Matthew Tehan leads a school of 312 pupils, well below its capacity of 420, and just over a third of children (32.6 per cent) are eligible for free school meals.
