37th 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 — 5.4/10 against 2,770 of them, against 4.8/10 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 | 59.0 · 37 | 40% | 1.47 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Tividale Hall Primary School
Overview
Tividale Hall Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” Pupils are described as “happy and proud” to attend this inclusive school, where they demonstrate “exemplary manners” and feel safe. The report confirms that most pupils are well-supported to achieve well and leave “prepared for the next stage of their education.”
Strengths
- The curriculum “clearly sequences important knowledge,” enabling staff to present information clearly and help pupils build learning over time.
- Early years provision is “particularly effective,” with staff using “skilful interactions” to develop children’s language and social skills.
- The school has “responded rapidly” to the increasing number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), adapting materials so they can learn the same knowledge as peers.
- Early reading is a priority, with a “well-organised approach to teaching phonics” ensuring most pupils develop fluency and confidence.
- Pupils benefit from a “wide range of opportunities” for character development, including leadership roles and enriching trips beyond the classroom.
Areas to improve
- The school should ensure all staff become expert at checking understanding during lessons to prevent some pupils from missing chances to “deepen their learning.”
- Governors should strengthen their understanding of curriculum development and delivery to better “support and challenge school leaders” on teaching effectiveness.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
