About Tenterfields Primary Academy

Tenterfields Primary Academy sits in the Dudley local authority, where it ranks third out of 69 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That puts it in the top ten per cent of primaries locally and nationally. The three schools immediately above it in the Dudley rankings are Manor Way Primary Academy, Blowers Green Primary School, and Straits Primary School, all of which score closely on the same metric. Tenterfields is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and it is not affiliated with any religious character. The school has a capacity of 226 pupils and currently enrols 216, with 14.6 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2025, the school was judged to be Good overall, with all individual categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — each rated Good. An ungraded inspection earlier that year confirmed that standards were being maintained.
