St Chad's Catholic Primary School
Dudley, DY3 3UE · Dudley · primary school
10th 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 — 8.9/10 against 3,737 of them, against 8.4/10 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 | 86.0 · 95 | 40% | 3.79 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 10.0 · 66 | 25% | 1.65 |
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, 86.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 10.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join reading, zumba, latin, yoga and mindfulness, Art and Craft, and cooking clubs, as well as outdoor games, Fitness Fun, football, and choir. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 247 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 37. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine for 247 children in a space designed for 210? What specific support is offered to the 10.0% of pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How does the after-school club operate given the current pupil numbers?
