About Sledmere Primary School

Sledmere Primary School’s headline KS2 results sit below the Dudley local authority average, with 52% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a LA average of 59%. That places the school 46th out of 78 primary schools in the borough, firmly in the bottom half of the local rankings. The individual subject scores tell a similar story: 67% hit the expected standard in maths, 63% in reading and 61% in writing, all a few points adrift of what you might hope for. On the plus side, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a remarkable turnaround from its previous Inadequate rating in 2022. That jump suggests real momentum under headteacher Emily Redding, even if the exam data hasn’t yet caught up with the improved inspection judgement.
