About St Margaret's CofE Primary School

St Margaret's CofE Primary School sits within the Sandwell local authority, where it ranks 26th out of 83 primary schools — placing it comfortably in the top third of its peers. The three highest-ranked schools in the area are Grove Vale Primary School, Burnt Tree Primary School, and St Pauls Church of England Academy, all of which sit ahead of St Margaret's in the local league table. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11, with a current roll of 237 children against a capacity of 240. It has nursery provision on site, meaning families can start their child's education here from the earliest stage. The most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in June 2022, rated the school Good overall, with a standout Outstanding grade for behaviour and attitudes. That's a notable improvement on the previous inspection in 2014, which also awarded Good overall but rated early years provision as Requires Improvement. The school is led by headteacher Stuart Jones.
