About Turves Green Boys' School

Turves Green Boys' School sits slightly below the Birmingham local authority average for Progress 8, with a score of -0.01 against the LA average of 0.09. That gap is modest, and the school's overall Progress 8 banding is rated as 'Average', meaning pupils here make broadly the expected level of academic progress from their starting points. What really stands out is the school's maths performance: a Progress 8 score of +0.56 in maths is significantly above the national average, suggesting that boys at Turves Green make stronger-than-expected gains in this subject. English and the EBacc subjects are slightly weaker, with scores of -0.18 and -0.16 respectively, but the overall picture is one of a school that delivers solid, middle-of-the-road outcomes for its pupils, particularly given that nearly half of its students (48.7%) are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average.
