About Wollescote Primary School

Wollescote Primary School sits within the Dudley local authority, one of 78 primary schools in the borough. In the most recent local rankings, based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, the school placed 21st out of 69 schools in Dudley, putting it comfortably in the top third locally. The three highest-ranked primaries in the area are Manor Way Primary Academy, Blowers Green Primary School and Tenterfields Primary Academy, each scoring higher on the same metric. Wollescote’s own ranking score of 68 places it a clear step ahead of the Dudley average of 59, though it sits some way behind the top-tier peers. The school is led by headteacher Lynne Hudson and is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged three to eleven. It does not have a religious character, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2023, rated the school Good overall, a rating it has held across both its recent inspections.
