Kates Hill Primary School
- Kates Hill Primary School
Kates Hill Primary School is a primary school located in the Kates Hill area of Dudley in the West Midlands of England.
The original school was Kates Hill Council School, built during the 19th century to serve the recently developed area which housed hundreds of families drawn to the area due to the Industrial Revolution. But a large percentage of the surrounding houses had been demolished by 1940, and the school closed shortly afterwards.
The current Kates Hill Primary School was built in 1972 on the site of the original one in Peel Street, just before the surrounding area was redeveloped for council housing. It provided education for pupils aged 3 to 12 years, but the leaving age was decreased to 11 in 1990.
When the school was first opened, the majority of pupils leaving the school moved up to The Blue Coat School, but this closed in 1989 to a merger with The Dudley School to form Castle High School, which is now the main destination for pupils leaving Kates Hill Primary.
In 1997, Kates Hill was the lowest-ranked primary school in the whole Dudley borough and the joint sixth in the country in terms of Year 6 SATs results, but a subsequent change of management has seen the school's fortunes improve dramatically.
