Check the area around this school
20th of 20 secondary schools in Wolverhampton we can score. 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 — 1.8/10 against 185 of them, against 0.8/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 12 | 35% | 0.42 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2025/26 | 20.2 · 4 | 30% | 0.11 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | -0.53 · 15 | 25% | 0.36 |
| Attainment 8 2025/26 | 34.0 · 4 | 10% | 0.04 |
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 Regis Church of England Academy
Overview
The report describes a school that is “well led and managed” with a “caring” environment where pupils feel safe and welcome. While inclusion and personal development are strong, the inspection identifies that pupils and sixth-form students “do not achieve as well as they should” in external examinations, with teaching not consistently ensuring high-quality written work.
Strengths
- Inclusion is rated at a “Strong standard”, with leaders providing “highly effective support” for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, enabling them to access the curriculum.
- Safeguarding standards are met, creating an “open culture” where concerns are actively identified and pupils “feel safe”.
- Attendance has improved, particularly for disadvantaged pupils, due to leaders’ “high expectations” and practical support such as bus passes.
- Personal development is robust, with pupils learning about safety, British values, and diverse cultures through events like “culture day”.
- Staff are “proud to work at the school” and receive effective support for workload and professional learning.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must ensure teaching supports pupils to produce “high-quality work” and write with accuracy, specifically regarding spelling and punctuation.
- Leaders need to ensure changes to the sixth-form curriculum lead to students “achieving as well as they should” in public examinations.
- Teaching must consistently support pupils to progress through the curriculum and achieve well at the end of key stage 4.
Safeguarding
The report states that “safeguarding standards are met”, meaning leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer.
