About Topcliffe Primary School

Topcliffe Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Birmingham local authority average, a gap that families weighing up their options will want to consider. In the 2023/24 academic year, 51% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a local authority average of 63%. That places the school 210th out of 254 primary schools in Birmingham, putting it in the bottom half of the league table. The school’s maths average score of 101 and reading average score of 100 are both in line with the national baseline of 100, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in any subject is low — just 5% in maths and writing, and 16% in reading. These figures suggest that while most children are hitting the expected level in individual subjects, fewer are exceeding it, and the combined measure trails the wider Birmingham picture.
