About St George's Church of England Academy, Newtown

St George's Church of England Academy in Newtown sits squarely in the middle of the pack for Birmingham primary schools, with 64% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That figure is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 63%, placing the school at the 47th percentile within Birmingham and the 46th percentile nationally. What stands out is the gap between reading and maths: 82% of pupils hit the expected standard in reading, but only 67% did so in writing, and 79% in maths. The school's maths average score of 104 matches its reading average, suggesting the dip in writing is a specific area of focus rather than a general weakness. Given that 76. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — these results represent solid, if unspectacular, progress for a school serving a high-deprivation community.
