About Sutton Park Primary

Sutton Park Primary's headline metrics paint a picture of a school that is working hard against a challenging backdrop, but still falls short of the local authority average for primary schools in Birmingham. The most recent data shows that 47% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared to a Birmingham average of 63%. That 16 percentage point gap is significant and places the school in the bottom half of all primary schools in the local authority, ranking 230th out of 292. The school's ranking within the West Midlands region and nationally is similarly low, sitting in the bottom 20% of all primary schools in England. However, context matters here: over half of the pupils (52.4%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, and the school is operating at just over 70% of its 420-pupil capacity, with 297 children on roll.
