24th 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 — 8.1/10 against 1,463 of them, against 6.7/10 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 | 67.0 · 57 | 40% | 2.28 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about St Luke's Church of England Aided Primary School
Overview
St Luke’s Church of England Aided Primary School has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection. The report describes the school as a "caring and happy place" where pupils are motivated to do well and demonstrate strong values such as compassion and friendship. Leaders and staff are dedicated to serving the community, ensuring that decisions are made in the best interests of pupils.
Strengths
- The curriculum enables pupils to achieve well, with staff ensuring new learning builds on existing knowledge and practical activities help apply understanding.
- Pupils behave well, enjoy warm relationships with staff, and have a "deep understanding of the risks they may face online."
- Attendance has improved significantly for pupils who were previously absent too often, supported by partnerships with outside agencies.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are well supported through individualised programmes and collaboration with parents and agencies.
- Staff feel well supported, with leaders prioritising their well-being and providing opportunities for professional development.
Areas to improve
- The school’s new approach to early writing is not being delivered consistently, meaning some pupils are not supported to form letters, spell, and write sentences at an age-appropriate level.
- Work to develop the language and communication skills of pupils at the initial stages of understanding and speaking English is not impacting as intended, requiring further development of oracy approaches.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
