St Martin's CofE Primary School
Tipton, DY4 7PG · Sandwell · primary school
52nd of 84 primary schools in Sandwell we can score, 93 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 — 3.2/10 against 2,897 of them, against 3.3/10 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 | 52.0 · 22 | 40% | 0.89 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 52.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in 2022. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (3.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 3.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join St Martin's Striders, OPAL Play, and football. They participate in music, singing, and drama. Trips include theatre, museum and gallery visits, residential activities, and nature and science outings. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 233 pupils in a capacity of 249 places, leaving 16 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in maths? What specific activities are included in the residential visits? How does the after-school club structure its day?
