About Tipton Green Junior School

Tipton Green Junior School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 7 to 11, currently home to 344 children against a capacity of 360 — meaning it is running very close to full, with just 16 spare places. That near-full roll is notable given the school’s intake profile: 44.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national primary average of around 23% and a strong indicator of the level of disadvantage the school serves. The school sits in Sandwell, a borough with 92 primary schools, and its admissions data suggests it is not oversubscribed in the way many local schools are — the combination of high FSM and spare capacity points to a school that serves its immediate community rather than drawing from a wider catchment. The headteacher is Sunita Richards, who took over leadership at a challenging moment: the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in December 2021, rated it Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management also judged Requires Improvement, though behaviour and attitudes and personal development were both rated Good.
