About West Hill Primary School

West Hill Primary School in Cannock Chase holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in February 2024, with all five assessed categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — each rated Good. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment, which sits at 67% of pupils. That figure places the school just above the Staffordshire local authority average of 65%, and ranks it 9th out of 23 primary schools within Cannock Chase itself. The school also performs well on individual subjects: 77% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, 81% in writing, and 75% in maths. Average scaled scores of 106 in reading and 105 in maths further underline solid core skills, though the proportion reaching the higher standard in all three subjects combined is just 2%, suggesting the school’s strength lies in securing good foundations for the majority rather than pushing large numbers into the top tier.
