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 curriculum , promoting Learning for Life and preparing 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:
In 2023, 69% of children in Year 6 achieved age-related expectations in Reading, Writing and Maths (compared to 59% National), with our most disadvantaged pupils achieving exceptionally well (72% compared to 44% National).
Outcomes for children in our Early Years continue to rise with over 70% achieving a good level of development (GLD) in 2023 (compared to 67% National).
Our Year 1 Phonics screening results for the past 3 years have been above the national average.
Attendance is above national data and we are regularly within the top 5 schools in Sandwell.
Our previous Ofsted inspection (June 2019) acknowledged that pupil behaviour is ‘exemplary’, with provision for personal development and welfare being judged as ‘outstanding’. We feel that this still remains the case.
We actively support schools within and beyond the multi academy trust.
