Butts Primary School
Walsall, WS4 2AH · Walsall · primary school
16th 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.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 8.1/10 against 1,708 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 68.0 · 60 | 40% | 2.41 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 13.0 · 78 | 25% | 1.94 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 68.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in June 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.1 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.7 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join sports days, sporting competitions, and sports enrichment days, perform in a school production, and take part in residential visits, community walks, and visits to places of worship. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 241 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 31. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 31 more pupils than its official capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects? How does the after-school club operate on days when the school is at full capacity?
