About City of Wolverhampton College

City of Wolverhampton College sits within Wolverhampton local authority, one of 21 state secondary schools in the area. Its Progress 8 score of -0.35 places it 16th in the LA, meaning it ranks below the local average of -0.06 and well behind the top-performing peers nearby.
