Christ The King Catholic Primary School

School overview

Christ The King Catholic Primary School is a primary school serving Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 391 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. 80% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 1.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 16% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 111 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 12% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Christ The King Catholic Primary School is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 49 first choices for 45 places. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 20.6 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 45% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Christ The King Catholic Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
