Check the area around this school
42nd of 60 primary schools in Walsall we can score, 85 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 1,446 of them, against 1.9/10 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 | 48.0 · 16 | 40% | 0.65 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
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 Elmore Green Primary School
Overview
Elmore Green Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a welcoming "family feel" and positive relationships that make pupils feel "safe and valued." Leaders maintain high expectations and are actively refining the curriculum to further enhance the quality of education provided.
Strengths
- The curriculum is precisely mapped, providing a "firm foundation" for learning that allows teachers to build effectively on prior knowledge.
- Reading is a top priority, with structured phonics lessons and a strong promotion of a "love of reading" through high-quality texts and library visits.
- Staff possess "secure subject knowledge" and model subject-specific language accurately, helping pupils explain their understanding clearly.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "fully included" in lessons and receive appropriate support to access learning alongside peers.
- Staff feel valued, noting that leaders go "above and beyond" to support their well-being and reduce workload.
Areas to improve
- The school must make "effective checks" on curriculum delivery in all subjects to identify inconsistencies and ensure pupils achieve as well as they could.
- The curriculum needs to be more focused on developing pupils’ knowledge and understanding of "different faiths and cultures," as this is currently limited.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
