Walsall, WS2 8RX · Walsall · primary school
2nd of 60 primary schools in Walsall we can score, 85 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 — 9.6/10 against 1,747 of them, against 8.9/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| Ofsted | 93 | 35% | 3.24 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 15.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.9 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join multi sports, cooking, and choir clubs, play football, netball, rounders, tennis, cricket, skipping, tri-golf, and tag-rugby, and perform in Christmas Carol Concerts and KS2 Music Performances. Trips include Forest School. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 498 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 78. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. With the school 78 pupils over capacity, how does the admissions process handle new applications? Since there is no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care? How does the school support pupils who do not reach the higher standard in core subjects?
