Northwood Park Primary School
Wolverhampton, WV10 8DS · Wolverhampton · primary school
58th 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 — 1.8/10 against 1,382 of them, against 1.6/10 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 | 33.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.17 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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, 33.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 4.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in August 2023. 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 (1.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 1.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Art Ninjas, Cooking Club, and Sewing and Knitting, alongside football, gymnastics, and cross-country. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 606 pupils in a capacity of 630, leaving 24 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who miss the morning routine due to the lack of a breakfast club? What specific steps are being taken to raise attainment from 33.0% towards the national median? How does the school manage admissions given the limited number of spare places?
