Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Tiverton Academy first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Tiverton Academy

Tiverton Academy is a primary school in Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 200 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 74% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, 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 in the top 34% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 110 in reading and 109 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Tiverton Academy their first choice was offered one of its 16 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.0%. There are about 23.7 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 38% 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. Tiverton Academy 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
