I know someone who came to this school as a NQT and hated every second. I would give this school zero stars. Leadership is absolutely poor, offer no support to NQT's. Leadership bully staff and make you feel intimidated no wonder staff leave this school on such a regular basis staff retention is very bad. Avoid this school at all cost do not waste your time probably the worse school in Birmingham to work at. There should be an investigation into this school and Birmingham city council need to take this seriously because they way they treat their staff is atrocious.

This is a good school. The headteacher is a leader of great
vision and energy who has led the school very successfully in the huge
improvement it has made in the last two years. She is strongly supported by a
senior leadership team which shares her very high expectations and together
they provide excellent leadership and management. The school provides
exceptional care and support for all pupils and families and is an integral
part of the local community. Read what parents really say about the school

This is a nice primary school to take your little tots to as it is located in a somewhat peaceful and secluded area. They have large play grounds and it is nice and clean free of litter. They also offer breakfast clubs and the the four item meals are all free to eat.
