About St John Fisher Catholic Primary School

St John Fisher Catholic Primary School sits well above the Birmingham average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the local authority average of 63%. That ten-point gap places the school comfortably in the top quarter of primary schools across the city, ranking 58th out of 254. The school’s maths scores are particularly strong: a mean scaled score of 108, with 77% of pupils hitting the expected level and a third reaching the higher standard. Reading and writing also perform solidly, with 87% and 73% at expected respectively, though the proportion reaching the higher standard in writing is lower at 17%. This is a school that delivers consistently above the local norm without being an outlier at the very top — a reliable, above-average performer rather than a headline-grabbing one.
