Check the area around this school
60th 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 2.2/10 against 2,425 of them, against 2.4/10 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 | 38.0 · 7 | 62% | 0.41 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 38% | 1.95 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing

The higher standard was reached by 7.0% of pupils, matching the national median of 7%. Its results are much the same when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds, so the gap is not explained by intake (2.2 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.4 out of 10 against all schools).

Pupils are proud to belong to this welcoming school, where they enjoy learning and behave exceptionally well. The school has thoughtfully developed a broad and ambitious curriculum, with staff demonstrating good subject knowledge and creating engaging activities. Leaders and governors know the school’s strengths, though there are specific areas regarding assessment and early writing that require refinement.
Strengths

- Staff are experts at teaching early reading, ensuring books are carefully matched to sounds so pupils read with developing fluency and confidence.

- Pupils relish taking on leadership responsibilities, such as school council roles, which helps them develop responsibility and confidence.

Areas to improve
