Check the area around this school
28th 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 1,189 of them, against 6.0/10 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 | 73.0 · 73 | 40% | 2.93 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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 Lanesfield Primary School
Overview
Lanesfield Primary School continues to be a good school, where pupils "flourish and are happy" in a "diverse and inclusive" environment. The inspection confirms that staff maintain high expectations for behaviour and have formed "caring relationships" with pupils, who feel confident seeking help from trusted adults.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate kindness and generosity, actively contributing to society through fundraising and community engagement.
- The school offers a "high quality" enrichment programme, including a "passport of 100 things to do," ensuring all pupils, including those with SEND, can step out of their comfort zones.
- An "ambitious curriculum" is broken down into small steps, helping pupils make connections and progress well.
- The school has "created and embedded a love of reading," with effective phonics teaching and daily story time that helps struggling readers become fluent.
- Personal, social and health education is carefully planned, fostering "mutual respect" for different cultures and faiths.
Areas to improve
- Staff must consistently use information from formative assessments to identify next steps in learning, as some pupils are currently not sufficiently challenged to deepen their understanding.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
