About Bird's Bush Primary School

Bird's Bush Primary School is a primary school in Tamworth, Staffordshire, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. Around 149 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 63% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 29.0 percentage points year on year, though small year groups can make these figures swing sharply from year to year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 102 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Bird's Bush Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 15 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 6.0%. There are about 18.6 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 40% 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. Bird's Bush 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.
