SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy & Nursery
Wolverhampton, WV6 0HR · Wolverhampton · primary school
38th 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 — 6.3/10 against 1,609 of them, against 5.0/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 7.0 · 51 | 25% | 1.27 |
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, 64.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.3 out of 10 against similar schools, 5.0 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2025.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the Children’s University, Pupil Leadership, School Council, and Senior Prayer Leader groups. They compete in the Tony McGinn Football Tournament, Mini London Marathon for Schools, and Wolverhampton 10k for Dementia UK. Trips include visits to The Kingswood Trust and Culmington Manor. A breakfast club is available, but there is no after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 232 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 22. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for children when it is over capacity? What support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How do parents arrange care after school, given the absence of an after-school club?
