About Perton Middle School

Perton Middle School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2017, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. This represents a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2015, when the school was judged to require improvement overall. The school's leadership and management were also rated Good in 2017. For a middle school covering Years 5 to 8, the most telling academic metric is its Progress 8 score, which measures how much pupils improve between the end of primary school and the end of Key Stage 4. Perton's Progress 8 score is not listed in the available data, but the local authority average for all secondary schools in Staffordshire is -0.18, meaning pupils typically make slightly less progress than the national average. Without a specific school score, it is difficult to say how Perton compares, but its Good Ofsted rating across both inspections suggests solid, consistent teaching.
