Reddal Hill Primary School
About Reddal Hill Primary School
Reddal Hill Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 62 applications for 43 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.44. Of those, 38 families put it as their first preference, and all 38 received an offer. The school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, but the demand speaks for itself. Headteacher Ann Bashir-Pugh leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11 in Sandwell, West Midlands. The school currently has 431 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 420. A significant 41.9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and reflects the school's role in a diverse community. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, Reddal Hill was rated Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a consistent improvement from its previous Good rating in 2011.
