About Stockland Green School
Stockland Green School in Birmingham was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2017, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2015, when it was judged to require improvement. The most telling academic metric for this 11-16 mixed state secondary is its Progress 8 score of -0.26, which the Department for Education bands as below average. This means that, on average, pupils achieved about a quarter of a grade less per subject than their peers nationally with similar starting points. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 39.8, and 38.1% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths. In the Birmingham local authority, Stockland Green ranks 64th out of 83 schools on Progress 8, placing it in the bottom half of the league table.
Digging into the Progress 8 breakdown reveals a mixed picture. Pupils actually performed slightly above the national average in maths, with a positive Progress 8 score of 0.14, but struggled more in English (-0.38) and in the open element (-0.64). The school’s EBacc average point score is 3.73, and just over half of pupils (53.1%) entered the EBacc combination of subjects, though only 15% achieved a strong pass in it. For context, the local authority average Progress 8 score across Birmingham is 0.09, so Stockland Green sits below that benchmark. The school does not have a sixth form, so all pupils leave at 16. With 51.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged community, and its results should be viewed in that light.
The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 167 places in the 2025/26 academic year, it received 662 applications, a ratio of nearly four applicants per place. First preference offers went to 143 pupils. Facilities are strong for a state school, including a swimming pool, sports hall, astro turf, art studios, music rooms, and even a chapel. The sports programme is unusually broad, offering rowing, martial arts, and gymnastics alongside more traditional options. SEND provision is comprehensive, covering autistic spectrum disorder, dyslexia, speech and language needs, and physical disabilities, plus a resourced provision. This is a school that suits families looking for a large, inclusive secondary with good facilities and a clear focus on supporting pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds, but who are realistic about academic outcomes being below the local average.
