Check the area around this school
34th 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 — 7.6/10 against 557 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 9.0 · 61 | 25% | 1.53 |
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 Field View Primary School
Overview
Field View Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and caring" environment where pupils feel safe and enjoy attending. Leaders maintain high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, fostering a culture of constant improvement and strong staff well-being.
Strengths
- The school is "well led and managed," with a broad and balanced curriculum that matches national expectations in most subjects.
- Pupils become "fluent and confident readers" through a systematic phonics approach and a strong love for reading promoted by leaders.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities achieve well, benefiting from careful identification, adapted learning, and effective staff training.
- Behaviour is managed effectively, creating a "calm and orderly environment" with very little disruption to learning.
- The school offers an "impressive range of opportunities" for broader development, including residential trips and musical performances.
Areas to improve
- Leaders should ensure the curriculum helps all pupils develop their "depth and range of vocabulary," as some lack the specific terms to express ideas confidently.
- Leaders must continue plans to embed the curriculum in foundation subjects where it is "not fully embedded," ensuring pupils gain the planned knowledge and skills needed to achieve well.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with staff receiving up-to-date training and leaders acting quickly on concerns.
