About Alvechurch CofE Middle School

Alvechurch CofE Middle School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent graded inspection in 2012 and an ungraded inspection in 2025, where inspectors noted that the school had improved significantly. The school serves pupils aged 9 to 13 in the Worcestershire local authority, and its leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, were both judged Good. With 438 pupils on roll against a capacity of 440, the school is operating very close to full. The most informative academic metric available is the local authority’s average Progress 8 score, which stands at -0.21. While Alvechurch’s own Progress 8 score is not published in the data, the school’s sustained Good rating and the fact that it sits within a local authority where only six out of 47 secondary schools are rated Outstanding suggests it is a solid, reliable choice for families in the Bromsgrove area.
