About St John's Church of England Primary Academy

St John's Church of England Primary Academy sits in Sandwell, a local authority where the average proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 is 60%. The school's own figure of 66% sits comfortably above that LA average, placing it 27th out of 83 primary schools in the borough. That puts it in the top third locally, though it's worth noting the gap to the very top performers: the highest-ranked schools in Sandwell hit scores in the low 80s. Still, for a school with 40.1% of pupils eligible for free school meals — well above the national average — this is a solid result that suggests the school is doing good work with its intake. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision. That's a consistent picture: the previous inspection in 2017 also awarded Good overall.
