About Sundridge Primary School

Sundridge Primary School sits in the bottom half of Birmingham primary schools for academic performance, but its most recent Ofsted inspection tells a more encouraging story. The school’s Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths stands at 48%, well below the Birmingham local authority average of 63%. That places it 222nd out of 254 primaries in the borough, firmly in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the school has just been upgraded from Requires Improvement to Good across every category in its July 2024 Ofsted inspection, including leadership, behaviour, personal development and early years provision. This is a significant turnaround from December 2021, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall and in quality of education. The improvement suggests a school that has addressed its weaknesses and is now on a firmer footing, even if the exam results have yet to catch up with the new inspection rating.
