Check the area around this school
35th 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 — 6.5/10 against 2,311 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.89 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Overview
D’Eyncourt Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils and staff live and breathe the aim to be their ‘BEST’. The report highlights a culture of deep respect, commendable behaviour, and high achievement, with leaders effectively supporting staff well-being and curriculum development.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate a "golden thread of deep respect" and are "convincing in their commitment to making the world a better place."
- Behaviour is "commendable," bullying is "rare," and pupils feel safe with "lots of trustworthy adults."

- Leaders prioritise staff workload and well-being, evidenced by a recent "well-being award."

Areas to improve
- Reading materials sent home do not always match the sounds pupils know or offer a "wider variety of story books," causing some pupils to struggle.

Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders being "rigorous in their recording and monitoring" and ensuring staff know what to do in the case of concerns.
