About Park Hill Primary School

Park Hill Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Sandwell, West Midlands, serving 234 pupils aged three to eleven under headteacher Caroline Logan. In the local authority’s ranking of 83 primary schools, it sits at position 83, placing it at the very bottom of the Sandwell table. The top-performing peers nearby include Grove Vale Primary School, Burnt Tree Primary School, and St Pauls Church of England Academy, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in June 2023, rated its overall effectiveness as Requires Improvement, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2013. However, several individual areas were judged Good, including early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. Only the quality of education was rated Requires improvement, suggesting that while the school has strengths in pastoral care and leadership, academic delivery needs focused attention.
