Check the area around this school
57th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 1,084 of them, against 1.8/10 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 | 43.0 · 11 | 40% | 0.42 |
| 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.
Corpus Christi Catholic Primary Academy overview
How it's doing

The higher standard was reached by 3.0%, against a national median of 7%. 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 (2.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.8 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in December 2023.

Corpus Christi Catholic Primary Academy has undergone significant change and improvement, with leaders remaining determined to make the school the ‘best it can be’. Pupils’ achievements have risen, and they speak confidently about their learning while feeling well cared for and safe. The school benefits from a strong partnership with its multi-academy company, which has supported considerable improvements in many aspects of school life.
Strengths
- Pupils feel safe and happy, supported by staff who model positive relationships and promote a culture of ‘don’t walk on by’.

Areas to improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not identified precisely enough the subject skills pupils need to develop, hindering progress.
- Some subject leaders lack the experience and training to fully understand how well their subjects are delivered and understood.
- A significant minority of pupils still do not attend school regularly, causing them to miss key learning despite previous improvement efforts.
