Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary
5.1/10 Broadly average

37th 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 — 8.7/10 against 1,473 of them, against 7.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

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, 72.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 13.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2026. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (8.7 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.3 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 480 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 60. Consequently, places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 60 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not yet reached the expected standard in core subjects?
