About St Martin de Porres Catholic Primary School

St Martin de Porres Catholic Primary School in Birmingham holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 55% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. This figure sits below the Birmingham local authority average of 63%, placing the school in the bottom half of primary schools nationally and regionally. However, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In writing, 76% of pupils reached the expected standard, and in maths the figure was 66%, both closer to the LA norm. Reading saw 62% reach the expected level, while 34% achieved the higher standard in reading — a notably stronger showing than in maths or writing, where higher-standard attainment was 14% and 17% respectively. The school’s average scaled scores were 104 in reading and 102 in maths, both slightly above the national baseline of 100.
