43rd 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 553 of them, against 4.4/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 2.0 · 24 | 25% | 0.59 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Eastfield Primary School
Overview
Eastfield Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils are "safe and well cared for" and generally enjoy their time. The report highlights strong leadership and a welcoming ethos, particularly for new arrivals, though it identifies specific curriculum areas requiring refinement.
Strengths
- Reading is "organised and taught very well," with structured daily lessons and well-matched books promoting fluency and a "love of language and literature."
- Leaders provide "supportive leadership" and have designed a curriculum that "meets pupils’ needs and raises their aspirations."
- Pupils take pride in special roles, such as being a librarian or e-safety leader, which help them "help others" and build confidence.
- The school offers a broad range of sports and physical activities, including competitive events and residential visits that "broaden pupils’ experiences."
- Staff are quick to identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, providing extra support so they "do not miss out."
Areas to improve
- The mathematics curriculum is not implemented as effectively as it could be, as teachers’ explanations or resources are sometimes "not carefully matched to what pupils need to learn."
- Leaders have not sufficiently planned for "important recurring ideas" in some subjects, particularly the humanities, making it hard for pupils to see connections between new and previous learning.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders being "attentive to legal guidance and very alert to local risks" to keep pupils safe.
