About St Edmund Campion Catholic School

St Edmund Campion Catholic School in Birmingham was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school’s Progress 8 score of 0.29 is the standout metric here, placing it well above the Birmingham local authority average of 0.09. That score means pupils at this mixed 11-18 state secondary make nearly a third of a grade more progress per subject than the national average, and the school ranks 25th out of 83 secondary schools in Birmingham. Its Attainment 8 score of 47.5 and a Basics 9-4 pass rate of 65.2 per cent in English and maths further underline solid academic performance. The sixth form, rated Outstanding by Ofsted, delivers a points-per-entry grade of C and a best three A-levels grade of C+, though the value-added score of -0.24 is below average, suggesting students here achieve slightly less than expected given their starting points.
