About The Oaks Primary School

The Oaks Primary School in Birmingham holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement grade, with the most recent graded inspection taking place in 2014 and an ungraded inspection in 2018 confirming the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 71 per cent. That figure sits comfortably above the Birmingham local authority average of 63 per cent for primary schools, placing The Oaks in the top quarter of schools nationally and within the top 50 per cent of schools in the West Midlands region. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both rated Good in the 2014 inspection, and the early years provision was specifically noted as Good again in the 2018 ungraded visit.
