Featherstone All Saints CofE Academy
Pontefract, WF7 6BQ · Wakefield · primary school
34th of 98 primary schools in Wakefield we can score, 113 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 — 7.2/10 against 3,998 of them, against 6.9/10 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 | 71.0 · 68 | 40% | 2.73 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 11.0 · 71 | 25% | 1.77 |
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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 11.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in April 2025. Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so they are not simply a reflection of who attends (7.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Getting in. The school has 229 pupils in a capacity of 210, meaning it is over capacity by 19. Places are competitive because the school is over its stated capacity.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 19 places? With no named extracurricular activities, what opportunities exist for pupils to develop interests outside the core curriculum? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard?
