33rd 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 — 7.2/10 against 951 of them, against 5.4/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 4.0 · 35 | 25% | 0.88 |
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 Teresa's Catholic Primary Academy
Overview
St Teresa’s Catholic Primary Academy is described as a “warm and welcoming school” where “difference is celebrated” and pupils “love to learn.” Since the previous inspection, leaders have significantly improved the curriculum, ensuring it is “well planned and sequenced” from the early years through to Year 6. The school fosters positive relationships and high standards of behaviour, with pupils making friends quickly and resolving conflicts effectively.
Strengths
- The curriculum is “well planned and sequenced,” with leaders carefully monitoring its impact to improve assessment and help pupils “remember more over time.”
- Staff possess the expertise to teach reading effectively, supporting pupils with English as an additional language or gaps in knowledge so they “quickly catch up” and read “more fluently.”
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities are “well supported,” with staff using their expertise to help them access all parts of school life.
- The school offers “very many clubs” and opportunities for community fundraising, helping pupils develop a “love of reading” and prepare to “play an active role in society.”
Areas to improve
- Subject leaders must develop expertise to better monitor the quality and delivery of their subjects, as some pupils currently lack the “subject-specific knowledge they need to do well.”
- Teachers need to use assessment “consistently well” to identify misconceptions quickly, ensuring all pupils can “gain and retain new knowledge” without gaps in prior understanding.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
