About Amblecote Primary School

Amblecote Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared to Dudley’s average of 59%. That ten-point gap places the school 18th out of 69 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top third locally and nationally. It’s a solid, above-average performer rather than an outlier — not among the very top tier (Manor Way, Blowers Green and Tenterfields all score higher), but clearly delivering results that outstrip most of its neighbours. The school’s ranking percentile of 26% within Dudley means roughly three-quarters of local primaries have a lower combined expected standard score, so families looking for a reliably strong academic foundation should find this a reassuring option.
