About Glebefields Primary School

Glebefields Primary School sits within the Sandwell local authority, a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11. Among the 83 primary schools in the borough, it ranks 36th, placing it just inside the top half. The highest-performing local peers are Grove Vale Primary School, Burnt Tree Primary School, and St Pauls Church of England Academy, all of which score notably higher on the same ranking metric. Glebefields’ own ranking score of 63 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though within Sandwell it is comfortably mid-table. The school is led by headteacher Katie Jenks and has a capacity of 480 pupils, with 386 currently on roll. It is a non-religious school with no official sixth form, but it does offer nursery provision. The most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2025, awarded a Good rating across all areas, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. This marks a clear improvement from the previous inspection in November 2022, when the school was rated Requires Improvement.
