Executive Principal
Allan Shephard
Hello,
I am the Executive Principal of the Federation of George Betts and Shireland Hall Primary Academies.
Our Academy partner is the Elliot Foundation. Together we are committed to working with children, families and the local community to provide an enriched Learning for Life curriculum to prepare our children for their future.

I am delighted to be able to tell you that George Betts continues to go from strength to strength.  Some really important indicators for this are:

  1. Our 2019 SATs results for Year 6 were ‘above national’ in Reading, Writing and Maths, with a high proportion of children achieving greater depth.
  2. Outcomes for children in our Early Years continue to rise.
  3. Our Phonics results for the past 3 years have been above the national average.
  4. Attendance is in line with national data and is better than within the local authority (Sandwell).
  5. Our recent Ofsted inspection (January 2019) acknowledged that pupil behaviour is ‘exemplary’, with provision for personal development and welfare being judged as ‘outstanding’.
  6. In a recent survey, with 322 parent responses, 98% of parents said they would recommend George Betts to others.
  7. 6 of our teachers have been recognised as ‘expert teachers’ within our Academy and support other schools across the MAT.
Congratulations to all children, parents, staff and governors!
