45th of 62 primary schools in Wolverhampton we can score, 72 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 5.7/10 against 452 of them, against 3.8/10 nationally. 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 | 62.0 · 44 | 40% | 1.74 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Berrybrook Primary School
Overview
Berrybrook Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils “share, live by and show the school’s core values in an impressive way.” Leaders maintain high expectations for behaviour and learning, creating an environment where pupils feel safe, enjoy school, and demonstrate maturity and respect. The curriculum is ambitious, aiming to equip pupils with skills to excel in a diverse world, with particular success in reading, art, and physical education.
Strengths
- Pupils are “confident and fluent readers” thanks to effective phonics teaching and swift support for those falling behind.
- A strong focus on vocabulary ensures pupils accurately use subject-specific language, such as ‘tone’ and ‘perspective’ in art.
- The curriculum in art and design is exceptional, enabling “clear development of knowledge and techniques over time.”
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff trained to notice concerns and work closely with external agencies.
- Pupils display “respectful and tolerant attitudes beyond their years” and take on significant responsibilities like anti-bullying ambassadors.
Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, teaching does not enable pupils to remember important curriculum content as well as in other areas, resulting in less confidence in recalling learning.
- Leaders should continue to embed successful recall strategies across the curriculum to ensure pupils demonstrate depth and breadth of knowledge in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective,” noting that leaders make necessary staff checks and work with many agencies to keep pupils safe.
