About Brierley Hill Primary School

Brierley Hill Primary School’s headline Key Stage 2 results sit well below the Dudley local authority average, a gap that parents will want to weigh carefully. In the 2023/24 academic year, just 37% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a LA average of 59%. That places the school 65th out of 69 primary schools in Dudley, firmly in the bottom half nationally. The school’s average scaled scores in reading (101) and maths (100) are both around the national baseline, but the proportion of pupils reaching the higher standard in any subject is very low: 7% in reading, 7% in maths and just 3% in writing. With 56.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged intake, which provides important context for these figures.
