About Howley Grange Primary School

Howley Grange Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 159 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.65. Of those, 58 families put it as their first preference, and 54 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Dudley area. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the sheer number of applications — nearly three for every spot — tells its own story about how families view the school. It's a state primary for mixed genders from ages 5 to 11, with no religious character, and is led by headteacher Angela Lewis. The school is operating very close to its capacity of 420 pupils, with 415 currently on roll, and 13.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
