About St Saviour's C of E Primary School

St Saviour's C of E Primary School sits in the middle of the pack for Birmingham primary schools, with 62% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That is almost exactly in line with the local authority average of 63%, placing the school 140th out of 292 similar schools in the area. The school is not among the top performers — its ranking score of 62 puts it in the bottom half nationally — but it is also not far off the pace. What stands out more is the context: over half of pupils (53.1%) are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, so the school is working with a cohort that faces significant economic disadvantage. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2025, rated the school Good across all categories, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2017. Parents seem to agree: 91% would recommend the school, and every single respondent said their child is happy there.
