About Withymoor Primary School

Withymoor Primary School sits in Dudley, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 59. The school’s own performance data isn’t provided in this summary, so it’s not possible to say whether it beats or falls short of that LA benchmark. What is clear is that the school is heavily oversubscribed: for its 57 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 126 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.21. All 55 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests strong local demand. The school’s most recent graded Ofsted inspection, back in 2014, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2018 confirmed the school remains Good. That’s a solid, stable rating, though it’s worth noting that Dudley has only three Outstanding primary schools out of 78 total, so Good is the norm here rather than an outlier.
