Against West Midlands and Sandwell

Track: West Midlands's middle 80% (10th to 90th percentile); L = West Midlands median; S = Sandwell median, shown when 10 or more of its schools have a figure; the dot is this school.

West Midlands state schools in Close Knit with a published figure, same phase (primary or secondary) and year; the borough median only when 10 or more of its schools have one. 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles with linear interpolation (PostgreSQL percentile_cont).

Colour only where lower or higher is clearly better (absence: lower): blue = better than the West Midlands median, red = in West Midlands's worst 10%.

Money: Compared only with maintained schools' accounts (CFR), same financial year.

Results

England rank: Key stage 2: % of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths; ties broken by % at the higher standard. Ranked among 15,057 primaries in England, 2024/25. England's state-funded mainstream schools with a published figure that year (suppressed or missing figures are left out); equal figures share a rank; top % = rank ÷ schools × 100, rounded up.

Top % in England by year: the first and best years are labelled; the dashed line is the middle (top 50%).

Against West Midlands: West Midlands state primaries, same year, cohort 30+, suppressed figures left out. Steps: the score out of 10 against West Midlands (10 = top 10%).

Arrows: change in West Midlands percentile points since 2018/19.

Pupils counted: 58 pupils (2024/25), every measure.

KS2 progress (reading), KS2 progress (writing), KS2 progress (maths): Not published for 2023/24 or 2024/25.

Getting in

Got in = first-choice families offered a place on national offer day ÷ families who put the school first. Putting a school first gives no priority: siblings and distance decide.

First-choice applications not offered a place on national offer day: 100 × (1 − first-preference offers ÷ first preferences). Applications count preferences, not children; places can still be offered from waiting lists after offer day.

Source: DfE, Primary and secondary school applications and offers.

Last distance offered: the straight line from the school to the furthest child offered a place under the distance rule. Not a catchment: it changes every year.

You: the straight line from the centre of Whiteheath (the area you came from) to the school, not from your door; inside or outside compares it with the latest distance offered.

Inspections

GoodRequires improvementInadequateReport cardUngraded visit, no grade

Dates are the day each inspection started: May 2026 Report card, lowest Expected · Mar 2022 Remains Good · Mar 2017 Ungraded visit · Feb 2013 Good · May 2011 Satisfactory · Jan 2010 Inadequate · Oct 2006 Satisfactory. Each dot opens its Ofsted report. Report cards and 2024–25 inspections have no overall grade: the badge takes the lowest area's colour.

Report-card areas graded Exceptional or Strong standard, and Needs attention or Urgent improvement, out of the areas graded; Expected standard counts as neither. Counted from Ofsted's grades, never scored from the report text.

Pupils

Full = pupils on roll ÷ the school's capacity (500 places), from Get Information about Schools.

Pupil profile and absence: DfE school census and pupil absence (Compare school and college performance). Free school meals = eligible at any time in the past 6 years; persistently absent = missed 10% or more of sessions. Withheld = suppressed by DfE.

Workforce

School workforce census, 2025/26. Staff in FTE (full-time equivalent), rounded to 1 decimal on the card. As published: teachers 15.4, leadership 2, teaching assistants 21.62, support staff incl. TAs 26.02, whole workforce 41.42 (47 people), 17 teachers by headcount.

Other support = support staff incl. TAs minus teaching assistants.

Per adult counts teachers, TAs and other classroom support; excludes admin staff.

• DfE: FTE pupils (January census) ÷ FTE teachers (November census)
• DfE: FTE pupils ÷ FTE teachers, teaching assistants, other school support staff and technicians; administrative, auxiliary and business staff are not counted
• Teachers in leadership posts: head, deputy and assistant heads

Financials

Maintained school accounts (CFR) · April 2025 to March 2026.

Published total ÷ FTE pupils in the same return, to the nearest pound; income and spend per pupil are left out when the return covers less than 12 months.

CFR (maintained schools, April–March) and AAR (academies, September–August) are different accounts and years: do not compare a maintained school with an academy.
