About Blakesley Hall Primary School

Blakesley Hall Primary School sits within Birmingham local authority, a large and varied education landscape where it ranks 231st out of 254 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, a notable contrast to the top-performing peers nearby: Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest all achieve ranking scores in the mid-90s. The nearest Outstanding-rated school, Lift Lea Forest, is just 2.2 kilometres away. Blakesley Hall itself was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2024, a rating it has held consistently across its previous inspection too. The school serves a diverse community, with 55.1 per cent of its 521 pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. It is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Pamela Key.
