Brickhouse Primary School
Rowley Regis, B65 8HS · Sandwell · primary school
47th of 84 primary schools in Sandwell we can score, 93 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.7/10 against 1,325 of them, against 3.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 47.0 · 15 | 40% | 0.60 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 47.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join cooking and healthy eating clubs, play football, dodgeball, and multi-sport, and perform in the Robin Hood Pantomime. Trips include visits to Ninja Warrior, the Space Centre, Cadbury World, and Dudley Zoo. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 205 pupils in a capacity of 236 places, leaving 31 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who fall below the expected standard in maths? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school manage the transition for children arriving without prior breakfast club experience?
