Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one. Figures cover the 205 of 513 schools here that have a published grade.

Birmingham has 513 schools across 6 towns — 291 primary, 83 secondary, educating around 208,458 pupils. 88% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (181 of 205).
