About Old Hill Primary School

Old Hill Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections, including the most recent graded visit in 2022. In that inspection, every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good. The school’s strongest academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 70%. That places Old Hill 18th out of 83 primary schools in Sandwell, putting it in the top 22% of the local authority. It also ranks in the top 30% nationally. The school’s maths average score of 106 and reading average score of 106 are both above the national average, and 87% of pupils met the expected standard in maths specifically. While no pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, 23% hit the higher bar in reading and 20% in maths.
