Hurst Hill Primary School
Bilston, WV14 9AJ · Dudley · primary school
60th 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 — 1.7/10 against 2,336 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 41% | 0.98 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 34% | 1.75 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 26% | 0.27 |
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, 53.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2022. 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 (1.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join chess, gardening, film, science, and Forest School clubs, or take part in football, dance, and ball skills. Music lessons are also available. There is an after-school club, but no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 232 pupils in a building with 353 places, leaving 121 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 does the school support pupils who are not reaching the expected standard in core subjects? What specific activities take place during the after-school club? How does the school plan to improve attainment in the next inspection cycle?
