About Blowers Green Primary School

Blowers Green Primary School is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its popularity among Dudley families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 129 applications for just 30 places, with 55 families listing it as their first preference. This demand is understandable given the school’s capacity of 210 pupils is already exceeded by its current roll of 247, meaning it is operating above its official limit. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 35.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national primary average of around 23%, reflecting the school’s role in serving a community with higher-than-average economic need. Despite this, the school has maintained an Outstanding rating from Ofsted since its most recent graded inspection in 2016, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains at that standard. It is one of only three Outstanding primary schools in the Dudley local authority, and the nearest other Outstanding option is Cradley CofE Primary School, 4.7 kilometres away.
