Check the area around this school
23rd 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 — 6.5/10 against 3,893 of them, against 6.3/10 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 | 66.0 · 54 | 40% | 2.16 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
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 Peters Hill Primary School
Overview
Peters Hill Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils enjoy attending an inclusive environment and feel safe. Leaders and staff maintain high expectations, fostering warm relationships and a strong sense of community among pupils, staff, and parents.
Strengths
- Pupils benefit from a "carefully considered" curriculum that sets out key knowledge, with particular strength in art where pupils build a "toolkit" of skills.
- The school provides excellent support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who are "very well supported to learn the same curriculum as their peers."
- Pupils behave well, are polite, and have "warm relationships" with staff, knowing there is always a trusted adult to talk to.
- Early years provision helps children settle quickly, and initiatives like the ‘Globetrotters’ team and ‘Class charters’ prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure all pupils receive phonics provision that prevents them from falling behind in learning to read, as some enter Year 1 not as ready as they could be.
- Systems to check how the phonics curriculum is implemented are not robust enough; the school should enact its recent action plan to ensure consistent delivery.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
