About St Augustine's Catholic Primary School

St Augustine's Catholic Primary School is a primary school in Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Roman Catholic religious character. Around 230 pupils aged 3 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted. 69% 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 15.0 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 106 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). 97% of the families who made St Augustine's Catholic Primary School their first choice were offered a Reception 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. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 49% 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. 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.
