About Perton First School

Perton First School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection took place in 2013, and an ungraded visit in 2023 confirmed the school continues to meet the standard for Good. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its overall effectiveness, were both judged Good in that 2013 inspection. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the most telling metric is the school’s Key Stage 2 performance relative to the local authority average. While the school’s own KS2 data is not provided here, the Staffordshire local authority average for primary schools sits at 65. This gives a useful benchmark for families comparing schools in the area. Perton First School serves children from age 2 up to 9, meaning pupils move on to a middle school before secondary, which is a distinctive feature of the local education system in South Staffordshire.
