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. The outcomes in EYFS have risen year on year since 2015 and we have gained the EYFS Quality Mark.
  2. Attendance is in line with National and better than the L.A (Sandwell) average
  3. George Betts and Shireland Hall were the first federation in the country to be awarded the NQT Quality Mark.
  4. KS2 pupils made better progress than the national average in writing and maths and average progress in reading (2016)
  5. In a recent survey 100% of parents would recommend George Betts to others.  In 2017, we achieved the Leading Parent Partnership Award (LPPA).
  6. 5 teachers support other TEF schools in an ‘expert teacher’ SLE role.
Congratulations to all children, parents, staff and governors!
