Yenton Primary School
About Yenton Primary School
Yenton Primary School, a state primary in Birmingham for children aged 4 to 11, was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent inspection in January 2024. The inspection report is particularly striking for its early years provision, which was judged Outstanding, while the quality of education, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes all received Good ratings. This represents a consistent performance compared with the school's previous inspection in 2013, which also awarded an overall Good. When it comes to academic outcomes at the end of Key Stage 2, the school's headline figure is that 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That places Yenton 155th out of 292 primary schools in the Birmingham local authority, and in the bottom 50% nationally. The local authority average for this combined measure is 63%, so Yenton sits just a few points below the typical Birmingham primary.
