About Hurst Hill Primary School

Hurst Hill Primary School in Dudley was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2016. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 43%. That figure is notably below the Dudley local authority average of 59%, and it places the school 61st out of 69 primary schools in the borough. In the West Midlands region, Hurst Hill ranks 1250th out of 1378 schools on the same measure, and nationally it sits in the bottom half of all primary schools. The school’s overall ranking score of 43 reflects these outcomes, though it’s worth noting that the data comes from the 2023/24 academic year, so it captures a specific cohort rather than a long-term trend.
