Rakegate Primary School
Wolverhampton, WV10 6US · Wolverhampton · primary school
56th 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 — 2.8/10 against 934 of them, against 2.1/10 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 | 41.0 · 9 | 40% | 0.36 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 41.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in July 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (2.8 out of 10 against similar schools, 2.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club for wraparound care.
Getting in. There are 472 pupils in a school with 488 places, leaving 16 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 are not meeting the expected standard in core subjects? With only 16 places remaining, what is the process for securing a spot if you are not currently on the register? How does the recent Ofsted inspection influence current teaching strategies?
