About Annie Lennard Primary School

Annie Lennard Primary School in Sandwell holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection, in November 2024, awarded Good in every category assessed: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 61%. This is a whisker above the Sandwell local authority average of 60%, placing the school 40th out of 83 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it sits in the 53rd percentile, a solidly mid-table position. While the combined figure is modest, individual subject results tell a slightly stronger story: 77% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 71% did so in both maths and writing.
