A select group of primary schools in Birmingham has received the highest possible rating of ‘outstanding’ from Ofsted, placing them among the best educational institutions in the region. This recognition is particularly significant as parents prepare for the upcoming deadline to submit applications for primary school placements, which is set for January 15, 2024.
The schools achieving this prestigious status are not only recognised for their academic excellence but also for their commitment to high standards in teaching, behaviour, attendance, and management. Obtaining an ‘outstanding’ rating from Ofsted is a considerable accomplishment, as the education watchdog awards these grades sparingly. Although the single-word grading system has been discontinued, many schools continue to be evaluated based on their previous ratings, which typically occur every few years.
As parents across Birmingham seek to secure places for their children in the best primary schools, the list of those rated as outstanding is likely to be in high demand. According to the latest Ofsted data, the following Birmingham primary schools have achieved this coveted rating:
