Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Secondary
4.1/10 Broadly average

11th of 18 secondary schools in Dudley we can score, 19 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 — 7.8/10 against 380 of them, against 5.6/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Ofsted 15 35% 0.51
Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 41.2 · 43 30% 1.30

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, 41.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.4, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.35 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.6 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Requires improvement in April 2026.

Getting in. The school has 637 pupils in a capacity of 730, leaving 93 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their attainment relative to the national median? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How does the curriculum prepare students for the next stage of education?
