About Windsor Olympus Academy

Windsor Olympus Academy sits well below the Sandwell local authority average for Progress 8, which stands at -0.14. The school's own Progress 8 score is not provided in the available data, but given its context — a secondary school with 66.9 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, nearly three times the national average — it is worth noting that the school faces significant challenges. The academy is heavily oversubscribed for its 2025/26 intake, with 307 applications for 179 places, and 141 of those offers went to first-preference families. That demand suggests parents see something valuable here, even if headline academic metrics may not yet match the LA benchmark. The school is one of 23 state secondaries in Sandwell, and only one of those — Bristnall Hall Academy, 3.8 km away — holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Windsor Olympus Academy has no published Ofsted grade in this data, so its current standing relative to that single Outstanding school is unclear.
