Birmingham boasts 39 primary schools rated outstanding by Ofsted, helping parents choose the best for their kids
If you’re a parent, you might be curious about how your child’s school stacks up. Choosing the right school is a big deal. You want to think about location, activities, and how you feel about the staff. Ofsted’s ratings can help you make that choice.
In September 2024, Ofsted changed its inspection process. They no longer give a single grade for overall effectiveness. But previous grades are still available on their website. Inspectors now focus on four key areas: quality of education, behavior, personal development, and leadership.
As of January 14, 2025, Ofsted lists 39 primary schools in Birmingham with outstanding ratings. These schools are spread across various neighborhoods, including Harborne, Moseley, and Yardley Wood.
Some reports date back to 2014, so it’s wise to do your own research. Don’t just rely on Ofsted results. You can find more details on their website.
Birmingham headmaster Adam Ames also shares tips for parents on choosing the right school. You can catch his advice on the Brummie Mummies Podcast.
