Hayes Meadow Primary School
About Hayes Meadow Primary School
Hayes Meadow Primary School, a state-funded mixed primary in Lichfield, Staffordshire, presents a mixed picture when compared against the local authority average for its type. Its headline metric for Key Stage 2 — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — sits at 56%, which is nine percentage points below the Staffordshire LA average of 65%. This places the school in the bottom half of primary schools within the local authority, ranked 155th out of 308. However, the school’s Progress 8 data is not available, so it’s difficult to say whether this lower attainment reflects the starting points of its intake. The school does have a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 26. 7%, which may be a factor. In its most recent graded inspection in 2014, Ofsted rated the school Good overall, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good.
