76th of 161 primary schools in Warwickshire we can score, 196 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 3,124 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.3/10 among them, against 7.6/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.61 |
| Ofsted | 1 | 35% | 0.03 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Wolverton Primary School
Overview
Wolverton Primary School provides a "caring and nurturing environment" where pupils feel safe and relationships are warm. However, recent staffing instability has led to inconsistent teaching and curriculum implementation, meaning many pupils do not yet reach the standards they are capable of. Leaders are taking decisive action to stabilise systems, but improvements in achievement, behaviour, and personal development remain at an early stage.
Strengths
- Safeguarding standards are met, with an "open culture" where concerns are actively identified and managed.
- Early Years teaching is consistent and high-quality, with "secure" phonics instruction and clear routines that prepare children well for Year 1.
- Staff build positive relationships with pupils, and bullying is "extremely rare."
- Leaders have an "accurate view" of the school’s strengths and weaknesses and are implementing effective plans to improve.
Areas to improve
- Leaders must embed adaptive teaching and strengthen assessment practices to ensure all pupils, including higher-attainers and those with special educational needs, are challenged and supported effectively.
- The approach to teaching writing requires review so pupils gain foundational skills in handwriting, spelling, and stamina.
- Leaders should consistently embed the new behaviour policy to reduce low-level disruption and ensure high expectations for attitudes to learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that safeguarding standards are met, noting that leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and pupils are made safer.
