Edward the Elder Primary School
Wolverhampton, WV11 3DB · Wolverhampton · primary school
21st 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 — 8.5/10 against 940 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 78.0 · 84 | 40% | 3.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 78.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2025. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join clubs including Choir, Chess, Gardening, Art, Wellbeing, Board Games, and Wilderness Warriors. Sports cover Football, Multi-sports, Rounders, and Gymnastics, alongside Dance. Trips include a Year 2 Residential and visits to Laches Wood. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 243 pupils in a capacity of 262, leaving 19 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a morning routine, given the lack of a breakfast club? What specific support is available for the 6.0% who reach the higher standard? How does the school manage the transition for Year 2 pupils attending the residential trip?
