The community at Erdington Hall Primary School in Birmingham is celebrating a significant academic achievement. The school's latest Standard Assessment Test (SATs) results have placed it above both the local and national averages for pupil attainment.
Exceeding Expectations in Core Subjects
Official data published by the Department for Education on 5th January 2026 reveals a standout performance. While 62% of children across England met the expected standard in the combined core subjects of reading, writing, and mathematics, 63% of Year 6 learners at Erdington Hall Primary achieved this benchmark. This also places the school above the average for its local authority.
SATs are the national curriculum assessments taken by pupils at the end of Key Stage 2, typically in Year 6. They evaluate proficiency in English grammar, punctuation, spelling, reading, and mathematics.
A Testament to Hard Work and Community
Principal Jenni Downes expressed immense pride in the school's collective effort. She attributed the success to the dedication of everyone involved in the pupils' educational journey.
"We are incredibly proud of our learners and the dedication they have shown," said Ms Downes. "These results are a testament to the hard work of our staff members, learners, and families. As we grow to welcome more children, we remain committed to providing a supportive and inspiring environment where every learner can thrive."
What This Means for the School's Future
This positive outcome underscores the effective teaching and support systems in place at the school, which is part of the Summit Learning Trust. The results provide a strong foundation for the school's ongoing development and its commitment to high-quality education.
For parents and the wider community in Erdington, the figures offer reassurance about the standard of primary education available locally. The school's focus on a nurturing environment appears to be yielding tangible academic benefits for its pupils as they prepare for the transition to secondary school.
