• St Filumena’s Catholic Primary School Named 'Primary School of the Year' in the West Midlands 2025

  Fri 06 Dec 2024

  We are thrilled to announce that St Filumena’s Catholic Primary School has been named ‘Primary School of the Year’ in the West Midlands 2025 by the Sunday Times Parent Power Guide. This achievement highlights the school’s commitment to excellence in education and its dedication to fostering a nurturing and inspiring environment for all pupils.

   

  The Executive Principal, Mr E. Howard, reflected on this remarkable achievement, sharing:

   

  “At St Filumena’s, we believe that education is about much more than delivering the National Curriculum. Our Catholic values underpin everything we do, helping our pupils to grow into confident, independent, and successful learners. This award is a testament to the unwavering efforts of our staff, pupils, and families, who collectively make St Filumena’s a truly exceptional place to learn.”

   

  This year, the school’s achievements have been unparalleled. Not only has Ofsted rated St Filumena’s as Outstanding in all areas, but the school has also received national recognition for its academic excellence. St Filumena’s is in the top 1% of primary schools nationwide for Year 1 phonics and Year 6 outcomes and is one of the top 200 schools nationally for the Year 4 multiplication check. Letters from the Minister of Schools praised these results, highlighting the exceptional dedication of the staff and pupils in fostering a love for learning and high academic standards.

   

  St Filumena’s motto, “I am loved,” continues to guide its mission of empowering every pupil to achieve their full potential as unique individuals. This award reaffirms the school’s vision of combining academic success with strong moral values and personal development, ensuring pupils leave as happy, responsible, and tolerant citizens.

   

  As we celebrate this incredible milestone, St Filumena’s remains committed to its mission of excellence and its belief that every child deserves an education rooted in love, respect, and opportunity.
