Pheasey Park Farm Primary School and Early Years Centre
Birmingham, B43 7DH · Walsall · primary school
19th 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.4/10 against 3,266 of them, against 5.9/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| 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, 68.0% 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 July 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs for dance, choir, games, gardening, art, and languages. Sports include football, tag rugby, netball, tennis, and rounders. Year 4 and Year 6 pupils go on residential trips. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 629 pupils in a capacity of 646, leaving 17 spare places. With so few vacancies, securing a place is likely to be competitive for new applicants.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the absence of a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 8.0% of pupils aiming for the higher standard? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions for the remaining 17 places?
