St Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School
Walsall, WS9 0HA · Walsall · primary school
13th 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 the 4,174 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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 | 83.0 · 92 | 40% | 3.67 |
| 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, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 7.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0 out of 10 among them, against 7.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Boogie Bounce Dance, Choir, Gardening, Rosary, Booster, Homework, Mini Vinnies, and Computer clubs. Sports include Football, Netball, Tennis, Basketball, Rounders, and Cross Country. Art and Yoga are also offered. Both breakfast and after-school clubs are available.
Getting in. The school has 239 pupils in a capacity of 236, meaning it is over capacity by 3. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the waitlist given it is currently over capacity? What specific support do the Booster clubs provide for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard? How does the curriculum balance the wide range of clubs with core academic time?
