About Holly Grove Primary Academy
Holly Grove Primary Academy in Lichfield was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2020, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The inspection report awarded Good across all five categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision also earned a Good rating. On the key academic metric for primary schools, 63% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure sits just below the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%. The school’s ranking in Lichfield places it 21st out of 34 primary schools on this measure, and nationally it sits in the 48th percentile. While not among the highest-performing schools in the area, Holly Grove has clearly stabilised since its previous inspection and is delivering broadly average outcomes for its pupils.
