Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
2.3/10 Below average

79th 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 — 3.4/10 against 1,518 of them, against 2.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 57.0% 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. The most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2026 rated the school as requiring improvement. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (3.4 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.9 out of 10 against all schools).

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Dance, 3D Art Illusion, WoolCraft, Newspaper, Animation, Cooking, Chatterbooks, and Art Clubs. Sports include Tag Rugby, Gymnastics, Multi-sports, Skipping, and Netball. Arts and music options are Drama Club and Choir. Trips include Forest School. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.

Getting in. The school has 344 pupils in a capacity of 360 places, leaving 16 spare spots. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who are not yet meeting the expected standard in core subjects? What specific steps are being taken to address the "requires improvement" rating from the 2026 inspection? How does the school manage the competitive nature of admissions with only 16 places remaining?
