Check the area around this school
52nd of 60 primary schools in Walsall we can score, 85 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.6/10 against 649 of them, against 1.3/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 36.0 · 6 | 40% | 0.22 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
All Saints National Academy overview
How it's doing
In 2024/25, 36.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 2.0%, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (1.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.3 out of 10 against all schools).

What Ofsted said about All Saints National Academy
Overview
All Saints National Academy is described as a place of "exciting times" where "experienced leaders and caring staff" have driven significant improvements since the previous inspection. The school fosters a calm environment where pupils are "happy and eager to learn," demonstrating good behaviour and strong relationships with the local community.
Strengths
- The reading curriculum has been "completely transformed," with all staff effective in teaching reading, resulting in pupils becoming "confident, fluent readers."
- Staff "skilfully help pupils who have fallen behind in their learning to catch up," ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs, make good progress.
- Children in the early years get off to a "flying start" due to a well-developed curriculum that prepares them effectively for Year 1.
- The school provides a "wide programme of enrichment activities," including trips and life skills such as emergency first aid, which pupils value highly.
- Attendance has improved significantly after the school prioritised working with families to address previous issues with pupils taking days out of school.
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure subject leaders develop the expertise to check the quality and delivery of their subjects, as implementation has not been checked well enough in a small number of areas.
- Assessment in some foundation subjects is not yet well developed; the school needs to ensure teachers can identify and address gaps in pupils’ subject knowledge so that learning builds sequentially.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
