The Priory Primary School
Wednesbury, WS10 0JG · Sandwell · primary school
18th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.0/10 against 1,095 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.86 |
| Ofsted | 91 | 35% | 3.19 |
| 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, 63.0% 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 January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.4 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Martial Arts, Zumba & Music, and Arts & Craft clubs. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 458 pupils in a building with 450 places, meaning it is over capacity by 8. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily transition for children arriving without a breakfast club? What specific support is offered to help pupils progress from the expected standard to the higher standard? How does the school handle the waitlist given it is currently over capacity?
