About Olive Hill Primary Academy

Olive Hill Primary Academy sits comfortably above the local authority average for its key stage 2 headline measure, with 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a Dudley average of 59%. That six-percentage-point gap places the school 27th out of 78 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the top half of its local peers. The school’s ranking score of 65 also lands it in the top 50% nationally, which is a solid showing for a state primary in the West Midlands. The most recent Ofsted inspection, a graded visit in January 2022, confirmed the school remains Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision and behaviour all rated Good. That’s a notable improvement from the previous inspection in 2015, when the school was judged to require improvement, and the ungraded inspection later that same year found it had held onto its Good status.
