Belbroughton CofE Primary School

About Belbroughton CofE Primary School

Belbroughton CofE Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it achieved in its most recent graded inspection in 2015 and maintained in an ungraded inspection in December 2024, where inspectors confirmed standards were being sustained. The school's leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were each rated Good. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2013, when the school was judged to require improvement overall. On the academic front, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 78% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits well above the local authority average of 61% for similar schools, and it places Belbroughton third out of eight primary schools in the Bromsgrove area. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 14% of all primary schools by this measure, and in the top 14% within the West Midlands region.

Digging deeper into the Key Stage 2 results, the school's strongest subject is reading, where 91% of pupils met the expected standard and 43% achieved a higher score. In maths, 83% reached the expected level, with 39% hitting the higher threshold. Average scaled scores were 109 in reading and 107 in maths, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. Writing is a relative weak spot: only 13% of pupils achieved a higher standard, matching the figure for reading, writing and maths combined at the higher level. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it is not possible to say how much value the school adds relative to pupils' starting points. The Parent View survey, based on 80 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows strong satisfaction: 95% of parents would recommend the school, and 86% strongly agreed that their child is happy there. Concerns about behaviour and safety also drew very positive responses, with 83% strongly agreeing that their child feels safe.

The school is a Church of England primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with 167 pupils on roll against a capacity of 175. It is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 66 applications for 25 places, a ratio of 2.64 applicants per place, and all 23 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. Facilities include a library, music rooms, a sensory room, a gymnasium, an ICT suite, art studios and a chapel. Sports on offer include rounders, cricket, football, netball, dance, athletics and tennis, while clubs include science, chess, art and gardening. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties (dyslexia), social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, and other difficulties or disabilities. With its strong academic outcomes, high parental satisfaction and clear oversubscription, Belbroughton is a popular choice for families in the Bromsgrove area who prioritise a solid primary education within a Church of England setting.
