About Brickhouse Primary School

Brickhouse Primary School’s headline metrics paint a mixed picture when set against the Sandwell local authority average for primary schools. The school’s Key Stage 2 combined expected standard in reading, writing and maths sits at 40%, which is notably lower than the LA average of 60%. This places Brickhouse 77th out of 83 primary schools in Sandwell, putting it in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the school’s reading outcomes tell a more positive story: 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, and the average reading score of 104 is solid. Maths and writing expected rates are lower at 50% and 53% respectively, and the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard across all three subjects is just 3%. So while the school is clearly below the LA benchmark overall, its reading results offer a genuine bright spot.
