About Crocketts Community Primary School

Crocketts Community Primary School sits in Sandwell, a local authority where the average proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 60 per cent. The school’s own figure of 53 per cent falls noticeably below that LA average, and its ranking of 61st out of 83 primary schools in the borough places it in the bottom half of local peers. That said, the picture is more nuanced when you look at individual subjects. In reading, 75 per cent of pupils met the expected standard, and in maths it was 72 per cent — both comfortably above the school’s combined figure. The real drag comes from writing, where only 68 per cent reached the expected level, and just 5 per cent achieved the higher standard. The school’s national percentile ranking of 73.6 puts it in the bottom 50 per cent of all primary schools, but the data also shows that a quarter of pupils hit the higher standard in maths and reading, suggesting pockets of strong performance.
