About Blakeley Heath Primary School

Blakeley Heath Primary School in South Staffordshire holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it achieved in its most recent graded inspection and maintained in an ungraded inspection in 2025. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 69%. That figure sits above the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%, placing the school 86th out of 308 primary schools of the same type in the county. In the narrower South Staffordshire area, it ranks 12th out of 18 schools. The school has also shown improvement over time: its previous graded inspection in 2016 rated it Requires Improvement, so the current Good rating represents a clear step up in quality.
