Nishkam Primary School Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton, WV3 0PR · Wolverhampton · primary school
10th 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 — 9.9/10 against 2,069 of them, against 9.6/10 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 | 89.0 · 97 | 40% | 3.88 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 23.0 · 95 | 25% | 2.37 |
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. In 2024/25, 89.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 23.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 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 (9.9 out of 10 against similar schools, 9.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Lego, Choir, Cricket, Panjabi Sewing, Sewing, Coding, Chess, and Eco Council clubs. Sports include Panjabi Wrestling, Archery, Dodgeball, Basketball, Football, Wrestling, Multisport, and Running. Arts and music cover Arts and Crafts, Keyboard, Choir, Reading, and Writing. Trips visit Lapworth Museum, Warwick Castle, Bantock House, Sea Life Centre, Art Museum, Black Country Museum, Think Tank, and Legoland. An after-school club exists, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 421 pupils in a capacity of 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 1. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the single place over capacity for new admissions? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How is the after-school club structured for children needing care until
