Butts Primary School
About Butts Primary School
Butts Primary School in Walsall has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in 2014, and an ungraded visit in 2024 confirmed the school remains Good. The inspection report singled out leadership and management as Outstanding, and early years provision was also judged Good. The school’s academic story is best told through its Key Stage 2 results for the 2023/24 year: 72% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Walsall local authority average of 61%, and places Butts 15th out of 58 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, it ranks in the top 25% of all primary schools, and in the West Midlands region it sits in the 24th percentile.
