Eaton Valley Primary School
West Bromwich, B71 4BU · Sandwell · primary school
62nd 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 2,695 of them, against 2.5/10 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% | 1.04 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 54.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. 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 (2.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.5 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Century, Yoga & Mindfulness, Photography, and Nature & Gardening clubs. Sports include football, multi-sports, dodgeball, and cricket, alongside dance. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 446 pupils in a capacity of 465, leaving 19 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in maths? What specific support is available for the 2.0% aiming for the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 19 places remaining?
