About Halesowen CofE Primary School

Halesowen CofE Primary School is a primary school in Halesowen, Dudley, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Church of England religious character. Around 191 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. 65% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 18.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Halesowen CofE Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 20 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 8.1%. There are about 23.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 63% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Halesowen CofE Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
