28th 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 the 4,190 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 3.8/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Pupils are described as happy, safe, and enthusiastic about their learning, supported by high expectations for behaviour and attendance.
Strengths
- The school’s values of ‘friendship, forgiveness, compassion, endurance, fellowship and respect’ create an environment where pupils feel ‘everyone knows and cares about you’.
- Pupils achieve well, applying themselves with enthusiasm; for instance, in art, they demonstrate careful attention to detail such as ‘shading and toning’.
- Reading is a clear priority, with a common approach to phonics and daily support for those falling behind, fostering a genuine love of books.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are ‘appropriately supported’ and achieve well due to knowledgeable staff adapting learning effectively.
- Wider opportunities, including leadership roles and trips, help pupils develop talents and prepare for future transitions.
Areas to improve
- Ensure consistent assessment practices across all subjects and share good reading strategies so all staff can effectively support pupils who have fallen behind.
- Develop a ‘cohesive, comprehensive strategy’ to secure better outcomes for disadvantaged pupils, who currently do not always achieve as well as their peers.
- Adopt a more systematic approach to analysing data on behaviour and progress to identify emerging issues and plan improvements accurately.
