Moat Farm Junior School
About Moat Farm Junior School
Moat Farm Junior School in Sandwell has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2013 graded inspection, and a 2022 ungraded visit confirmed the school remains Good. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 77%. That is well above the Sandwell local authority average of 60% for similar schools, and it places Moat Farm 8th out of 83 primary schools in the borough — comfortably inside the top 10%. In national terms, the school sits in the top 17% of all primary schools, a strong showing for a junior school serving a community where nearly 40% of pupils are eligible for free school meals.
