Check the area around this school
29th 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 — 6.5/10 against 3,027 of them, against 5.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Tividale Community Primary School
Overview
Tividale Community Primary School is judged ‘Good’ across all inspection categories, including the quality of education, behaviour, and leadership. The report highlights a welcoming environment where staff build “warm and nurturing relationships” with pupils, who behave extremely well and feel safe. While the school has maintained high standards since its previous ‘Outstanding’ rating, there are specific areas regarding curriculum consistency in foundation subjects that require further development.
Strengths
- Pupils make good progress in reading and mathematics, benefiting from a “strong foundation in reading” and consistent phonics teaching.
- Staff are “highly committed” and provide effective, targeted support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- The curriculum in subjects like history is logically structured, helping pupils develop a “rich understanding of ideas.”
- Leaders and governors provide effective support and challenge, with an accurate view of the school’s strengths and weaknesses.
- Pupils enjoy a broad curriculum, including residential trips and roles such as sports leaders, fostering personal development.
Areas to improve
- Ensure all foundation subjects are taught well so that pupils’ knowledge and understanding are secure across the entire curriculum, rather than being variable.
- Provide further support to enhance teachers’ subject knowledge and pedagogical skills in subjects where delivery is currently inconsistent.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
