Mixed Primary Roman Catholic
6.9/10 Above average

15th of 84 primary schools in Sandwell we can score, 93 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 — 7.9/10 against 2,608 of them, against 6.9/10 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

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 71.0 · 68 62% 4.20
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 11.0 · 71 38% 2.72

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
