Town Junior School
About Town Junior School
Town Junior School sits in the top quarter of Birmingham primary schools, with 74% of its pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2. That is a solid 11 percentage points above the Birmingham local authority average of 63%, placing the school 51st out of 254 primaries in the area. The school is also comfortably in the top 25% nationally. This strong headline performance is backed by average scaled scores of 107 in maths and 106 in reading, both above the national benchmark of 100. However, the proportion hitting the higher standard in all three subjects is just 2%, which is low. In maths specifically, 33% reached the higher threshold, and 37% did so in reading, but writing at the higher level drops to just 7%. So while the school is reliably getting most children to the expected level, stretching the most able into the higher bands is clearly an area of focus.
