What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Kings Heath Primary Academy provides pupils with the best possible start in life. The school embraces every opportunity to remind pupils of the endless possibilities their lives have if they work hard and give of their best. The school's ambition for every pupil knows no bounds. Pupils learn Latin, work with the Royal Opera House to perform an opera and participate in 'Apprentice Days'. Pupils respond exceptionally well to each and every challenge presented to them. They love to learn. They are excited about their futures. One pupil said: 'This school wants me to aspire to achieve everything I can and live a good life with a smart job.' The school's high expectations of pupils are established right from the minute the youngest children walk through the door. Pupils are crystal clear about how they should behave. Signs around school prompt them to 'walk like a scholar' and to hold doors open for each other. Pupils learn to take pride in the big things and the little things. They are invited to check that their uniform is smart in the school mirror. Adults model the behaviours that pupils should replicate. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are second to none.
