Mount Pleasant Primary School
Brierley Hill, DY5 2YN · Dudley · primary school
44th 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 — 4.9/10 against 2,627 of them, against 4.3/10 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 | 53.0 · 24 | 62% | 1.48 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 12.0 · 74 | 38% | 2.84 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

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 12.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (4.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for gymnastics, art, music, felting, jewellery, STEM, and board games. Sports include football, tennis, netball, and Zumba. Trips visit the Black Country Living Museum, Hartlebury Castle, Dudley Zoo, and Chedworth Roman Villa. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 356 pupils in a building with 315 places, meaning it is over capacity by 41. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity? What specific support is offered to pupils who are below the expected standard? How are the various clubs scheduled to ensure all pupils can participate?
