Wolgarston High School
Stafford, ST19 5RX · Staffordshire · secondary school
17th of 56 secondary schools in Staffordshire we can score, 70 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 709 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.1/10 among them, against 6.6/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofsted | 18 | 35% | 0.62 |
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 47.1 · 59 | 30% | 1.76 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.38 · 78 | 25% | 1.95 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 47.6 · 60 | 10% | 0.60 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Eco-committee and an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 834 pupils in a school with 860 places, leaving 26 spare places. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their progress relative to similar-intake peers? What specific activities are available in the after-school club? How does the school manage admissions when demand exceeds the 26 remaining places?
