Tividale Community Primary School
About Tividale Community Primary School
Tividale Community Primary School sits in the bottom half of Sandwell’s primary schools when it comes to the headline Key Stage 2 measure, with just 48% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is a full 12 percentage points below the local authority average of 60%, and it places the school 72nd out of 83 primaries in the borough. The gap is even starker at the higher standard: only 5% of Tividale pupils achieved that top tier in all three subjects, compared with a national picture where roughly one in ten children typically do. The school’s ranking score of 48 puts it in the bottom 50 nationally, and within the West Midlands it sits in the 85th percentile — meaning roughly 85% of regional primaries outperform it on this metric. For parents weighing up options, these numbers are a clear signal that academic attainment here is significantly below what most Sandwell schools manage.
