About Brandhall Primary School

Brandhall Primary School sits comfortably above the Sandwell local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a local average of 60%. That thirteen-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school 13th out of 83 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school is also oversubscribed: for 50 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 100 applications, with 49 of those coming as first preferences. That level of demand suggests local families see the school as a strong option, and the numbers back that up. The school's most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2019, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016.
