Check the area around this school
36th 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 — 5.5/10 against 2,651 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Crestwood Park Primary School
Overview
Crestwood Park Primary School is rated ‘Good’ for overall effectiveness, with all key judgement areas also rated ‘Good’. The report describes a school where “pupils enjoy attending” and “flourish because adults take great care of them.” Leaders have strengthened the quality of education since the previous inspection, fostering an inclusive culture supported by “overwhelmingly supportive” parents and carers.
Strengths
- Pupils are encouraged to be “confident, resilient learners” with high expectations set for all, including those with additional needs.
- The curriculum is “ambitious and well-ordered,” featuring effective recall strategies in most subjects to help pupils remember important content.
- Reading is a strong feature; pupils are “immersed in reading” from Reception, developing into “confident, fluent readers” through well-targeted support.
- Personal development is well-designed, teaching pupils about respect, relationships, and democracy, with initiatives like ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’ supporting staff and pupil well-being.
- Governors are “very involved” and “well informed,” providing strong support and evaluation of school leadership.
Areas to improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not enable pupils to commit learning to long-term memory; leaders must ensure strategies are used to develop “secure depth and breadth” of knowledge.
- Assessment is not used consistently across all subjects to identify gaps; leaders should ensure regular checks inform and adapt subsequent teaching.
- Some teachers do not use agreed teaching strategies consistently, causing variation in quality; leaders must ensure uniform application so “all pupils achieve more.”
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are “effective,” with robust systems in place to report concerns, regular staff training, and pupils taught how to keep themselves safe.
