Hagley Primary School

Hagley Primary School is a large primary school that is performing very strongly overall. Safeguarding standards are met, and the school has an open, positive culture of safeguarding. Personal development and wellbeing are exceptional, with outstanding pastoral care, mental health support, pupil leadership and inclusive outdoor play. The other inspected areas—achievement, attendance and behaviour, curriculum and teaching, early years, inclusion, and leadership and governance—are all strong. Pupils attain above national averages in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6, attendance is above national and persistent absence is low, and behaviour is a real strength. The curriculum is broad, ambitious and well sequenced, with reading a high priority and effective phonics teaching. Early years provision is warm and well organised, and the opening of the school's nursery in 2025 has been carefully aligned with Reception. Inclusion is strong: pupils with SEND, disadvantaged pupils and vulnerable pupils access the same ambitious curriculum and are well supported. Leadership and governance are rigorous, staff feel well supported, and the school increasingly shares its expertise with other schools. The main area for continued focus is ensuring that achievement gaps for disadvantaged pupils, particularly in writing, continue to close over time.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

In 2024–25, 1.0% of pupils at Hagley Primary School were suspended at least once (nationally 1.1%). One pupil was permanently excluded.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

In 2025–26 Hagley Primary School had 21.8 pupils for each teacher (the national figure for primary schools was 20.7). Of its teachers in 2024–25, 5.6% were no longer at the school a year later (nationally 15.7%).

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

In 2025–26, 17.5% of pupils at Hagley Primary School were on SEN support (nationally 15.4%) and 2.8% had an education, health and care (EHC) plan (nationally 4.1%).

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.

In 2025–26 Hagley Primary School received £6,818 and spent £7,053 for each of its 669 pupils. It ended the year with reserves of £683,000 (£1,021 per pupil).
