Queen Victoria Primary School
Dudley, DY3 1JB · Dudley · primary school
70th 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 — 3.9/10 against 2,146 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 60.0 · 39 | 40% | 1.56 |
| Ofsted | 3 | 35% | 0.11 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.60 |
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, 60.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 2.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in June 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Queen Vic Science Club, take part in Bikeability, and attend a residential trip to Ashley Burf. There is no breakfast club or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 497 pupils in a building with 655 places, leaving 158 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help in maths, given the gap between the school’s 60.0% and the national 64%? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating from the recent inspection? How do teachers manage class sizes with 158 places currently unfilled?
