Windy Arbor Primary School
About Windy Arbor Primary School
Windy Arbor Primary School sits well below the Solihull local authority average for primary schools when it comes to the key headline metric of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. The school’s figure of 53% is 14 percentage points lower than the LA average of 67%, a gap that places it 39th out of 59 primary schools in the borough and in the bottom 50% nationally. This is a school that serves a significantly more disadvantaged intake than many of its neighbours, with 57.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, more than three times the national average. That context matters when interpreting the results, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2018 rated it Good overall, a grade it has held consistently across its previous inspection in 2014 and the earlier 2009 inspection. Leadership and management were also judged Good, and an ungraded inspection in 2018 confirmed the school remains Good.
