About Abbeywood First School

Abbeywood First School, a state primary in Redditch serving children aged 3 to 9, doesn't have published KS2 SATs results to compare directly against the Worcestershire local authority average of 61 per cent. However, its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in February 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained at Good, a rating the school has held consistently across both its graded inspections. That stability is worth noting in a local authority where only 13 out of 180 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school's parent view, based on 34 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows strong endorsement: 85 per cent of parents would recommend Abbeywood to others. On the question of whether their child is happy at the school, 85 per cent of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed, and a similar proportion felt their child does well there.
