Manor Primary School

Sutton Coldfield, B74 3HX · Walsall · primary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
5.7/10 Broadly average

18th 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.

Narrow the comparison to the 2,100 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7/10 among them, against 6.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 69.0 · 63 40% 2.51
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 8.0 · 57 25% 1.43

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, 69.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.7 out of 10 among them, against 6.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils join music clubs, take music lessons, and perform in concerts and Christmas productions. Sports include netball, football, cricket, tag rugby, and athletics. Trips visit Twycross Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Weston Super Mare, Birmingham Think Tank, Tamworth Castle, Lapworth Museum, Coventry Cathedral, and Black Country Museum. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 411 pupils in a capacity of 420, leaving 9 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 do not reach the expected standard? What specific activities does the after-school club offer? How does the school manage the competitive nature of its admissions process?
