Walsall Wood School
Walsall, WS8 7BP · Walsall · primary school
10th 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 1,973 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%. A further 20.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 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 join clubs including A*STARS, Children's University, Choir, and a Radio Station. Sports cover football, hockey, and athletics, while trips include visits to the National Memorial, Lego Land, and Think Tank. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 234 pupils in a building with 210 places, meaning it is over capacity by 24. Consequently, places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 24 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for children who have not yet reached the expected standard? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support learning?
