St Mary and St Margaret's Church of England Aided Primary School
About St Mary and St Margaret's Church of England Aided Primary School
St Mary and Margaret's Church of England Aided Primary School in Solihull was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2024, with the same rating across all five inspected categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school's most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which sits at 62%. That figure is five percentage points below the Solihull local authority average of 67%, placing the school 26th out of 42 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it ranks in the 51st percentile, putting it squarely in the middle of the pack. While the combined headline figure is modest, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story: 76% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, and 72% did so in both reading and writing. Average scaled scores of 105 in maths and 104 in reading are solid, though only 14% of pupils reached the higher standard across all three subjects.
