About Codsall Middle School

Codsall Middle School is a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13, located in the South Staffordshire borough under Staffordshire local authority. It is one of 75 schools of the same type in the area, and while it holds a Good Ofsted rating, it sits outside the top three ranked peers in the local authority — those being The Friary School, St John Fisher Catholic College, and Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group. The school is led by headteacher Kirstin Reade and has 523 pupils on roll, which is above its official capacity of 480, indicating it is oversubscribed. Seventeen per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives a sense of the school's intake relative to the local area. The school is non-denominational and mixed gender, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained, with a graded inspection in 2019 also rating the school Good across all categories including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
