Summerhill Primary Academy
About Summerhill Primary Academy
Summerhill Primary Academy in Sandwell holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good, while the previous graded inspection in 2015 rated both leadership and management and early years provision as Outstanding. For a more current academic snapshot, the school’s Key Stage 2 results from 2023/24 show that 53% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Sandwell local authority average of 60%, and places Summerhill 59th out of 83 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half nationally. The school’s ranking score of 53 reflects this position, though it is worth noting that the school serves a community where 51.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
