Colley Lane Primary Academy
Halesowen, B63 2TN · Dudley · primary school
15th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.9/10 against 2,192 of them, against 7.7/10 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 | 72.0 · 71 | 40% | 2.83 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access a breakfast club and an after-school club. Sports activities include football, netball, hockey, basketball, athletics, rounders, and multi-skills.
Getting in. The school has 454 pupils in a building with 720 places, leaving 266 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How do teachers manage class sizes when the school is running at less than two-thirds of its capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How does the breakfast club integrate with the morning curriculum for those who attend?
