Check the area around this school
69th of 113 primary schools in Worcestershire we can score, 180 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 4,185 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.5/10 among them, against 4.0/10 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 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 3.0 · 29 | 25% | 0.73 |
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 Wolverley Sebright Primary Academy
Overview
Wolverley Sebright Primary Academy continues to be a good school, where leaders maintain high expectations and foster a culture of enthusiasm and achievement. Pupils feel secure and safe, supported by staff who know them well and promote positive attitudes through role models and kindness initiatives. The school benefits from a strong sense of community spirit, with parents and staff expressing positive opinions about the collaborative approach to decision-making.
Strengths
- Staff teach the curriculum effectively, using clear explanations and recaps to help pupils, including those with special educational needs, build knowledge in small steps.
- Reading is prioritised successfully; almost all pupils become fluent readers by Year 3, leading to a genuine love of literature.
- Behaviour is excellent, with well-established routines and rare disruption, creating a "mature and scholarly atmosphere" in many lessons.
- Pupils engage enthusiastically in leadership opportunities, such as the school council and 'pupil parliament', which deepens their sense of belonging.
- Leaders review the curriculum regularly and use commercial schemes in key subjects like mathematics and reading to ensure consistency.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must identify specific knowledge pupils should learn in some subjects to allow teachers to check progress with precision.
- The school should continue developing a coherent programme of trips and visits to enrich the curriculum to previous standards.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders conducting necessary checks, maintaining accurate records, and staff acting quickly on concerns with a culture of ‘it could happen here’.
