About Maryvale Catholic Primary School

Maryvale Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 225 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 53% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 14.0 percentage points compared with the previous 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 103 in reading and 102 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 Maryvale Catholic Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 26 Reception places. 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.
