Check the area around this school
48th of 76 primary schools in Dudley we can score, 78 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 3.1/10 against 2,702 of them, against 3.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 54.0 · 26 | 40% | 1.03 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Bromley Hills Primary School overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. For the higher standard, the school recorded 5.0% against a national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.1 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025.
Beyond the classroom
The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.

What Ofsted said about Bromley Hills Primary School
Overview
Bromley Hills Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. Pupils and staff view it as a welcoming environment where everyone feels included and values are demonstrated through perseverance and care. The school maintains high expectations, with a carefully designed curriculum enabling most pupils to achieve well.
Strengths
- The curriculum is "carefully designed," helping pupils demonstrate a "good understanding of important subject-specific vocabulary."
- Staff "check pupils’ knowledge well" and provide "timely support" in core subjects, with early identification for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Pupils are "active citizens in their community," engaging in charitable activities and holding roles such as subject ambassadors.
- Early years provision is strong, with children settling quickly and developing "positive relationships with each other and staff."
- Governors have an "accurate view of school performance" and work effectively with external partners to drive improvements.
Areas to improve
- Staff must better adapt teaching for pupils with SEND, as some currently "struggle to understand what staff expect of them in lessons."
- Teachers need support to deliver "subject-specific skills" effectively, as some pupils learn facts but do not become proficient in associated skills.
- The school must address persistent absence, as "too many pupils are away from school too often," affecting their learning and social experiences.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
