About St Edmund Campion Catholic School

St Edmund Campion Catholic School is a secondary school in Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 1,151 pupils aged 11 to 18 attend the school. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 45.8 — broadly in line with the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has fallen by 1.7 points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of secondary schools nationally.

38% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, below the national average of about 45%. 62% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. 84% of the families who made St Edmund Campion Catholic School their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. After Year 11, 90% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 8.2%. There are about 17.2 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 47% 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. St Edmund Campion Catholic 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.
