About Temple Meadow Primary School

Temple Meadow Primary School in Sandwell holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which stands at 51%. This is below the Sandwell local authority average of 60%, placing the school 65th out of 83 primary schools in the borough and in the bottom 50% nationally. However, the picture is more nuanced when looking at individual subjects: 73% of pupils met the expected standard in writing, 66% in reading and 64% in maths. The average scaled scores in reading (102) and maths (101) are both above the national baseline of 100, suggesting that while combined attainment lags behind, core skills are broadly on track.
