About Wychall Primary School

Wychall Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit noticeably below the Birmingham local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined is 63%, Wychall’s figure is 54%. That gap of nine percentage points places the school in the bottom half of Birmingham primaries — 196th out of 254, and in the bottom 50% nationally. The school’s average scores in reading and maths both sit at 102, which is exactly the national expectation, but the proportion reaching the higher standard in those subjects is low: just 11% in reading and 5% in maths. Only 2% of pupils hit the higher standard across all three subjects. These numbers reflect a school serving a community with very high levels of disadvantage — 77.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than three times the national average.
