About Springhill Primary Academy

Springhill Primary Academy in Lichfield was rated Good overall by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2019, and an ungraded inspection in October 2024 confirmed that standards are being maintained. The school’s leadership and management were singled out as Outstanding, a notable strength given the school’s journey from a Requires Improvement rating in 2016. On the most informative exam metric available, 67% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2 in 2023/24. That figure sits just above the Staffordshire local authority average of 65% for primary schools, placing Springhill 101st out of 308 similar schools in the county. In the Lichfield local area specifically, the school ranks 18th out of 34 primary schools. While the school doesn’t break into the top tier locally, its progress from its previous inspection rating is clear, and the Outstanding leadership grade suggests strong direction from headteacher Jack Edwards.
