About Hill West Primary School
Hill West Primary School is a primary school in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 400 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 78% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That is down 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 7% of primary schools in England.
Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 22% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Hill West Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 23 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 19.0 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
