46th 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 — 4.8/10 against 2,502 of them, against 4.2/10 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 | 56.0 · 30 | 62% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 38% | 2.36 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
This is a “happy junior school” where pupils feel safe and adults “really care about them.” The report highlights that the school “aims high for everyone,” resulting in pupils who “attain well in national assessments” and benefit from a curriculum guided by strong Christian values.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate “respect and understanding for other religions and cultures,” supported by “strong and productive links with a school in Kenya.”
- Personal development is fostered through an “extensive range of activities,” including trips, residentials, and clubs where “pupils’ talents are nurtured and celebrated.”

- Reading is a clear priority; staff provide targeted phonics support so struggling pupils can “catch up quickly” and become “fluent readers.”

Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects where the curriculum has recently been revised, “pupils’ knowledge is not as secure as it is in others.” The school must ensure staff receive necessary training so these subjects are “delivered consistently well.”
