St Giles Church of England Primary School
Willenhall, WV13 2ER · Walsall · primary school
9th 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 — 9.5/10 against 2,036 of them, against 8.6/10 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 | 77.0 · 82 | 40% | 3.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 20.0 · 92 | 25% | 2.30 |
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, 77.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 20.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.6 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils access Black Country Dance Hub, Staffordshire Cricket, Walsall F.C. Foundation, Bloxwich Gymnastics Club, Bilston Swimming Club, Wednesbury Hockey Club, Bloxwich Gym Club, and the Junior Athletics Club. Football and netball are played. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club operate.
Getting in. The school has 449 pupils against a capacity of 380 places, meaning it is over capacity by 69. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the high demand for places when it is over capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the various external clubs coordinated with the school timetable?
