About Eastfield Primary School

Eastfield Primary School in Wolverhampton holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained since its most recent graded inspection in 2013 and confirmed in an ungraded inspection in 2023. The school’s most telling academic metric is its Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard, which sits at 51% of pupils. That figure is notably below the Wolverhampton local authority average of 64%, placing Eastfield 49th out of 60 primary schools in the area. The school’s ranking score of 51 puts it in the bottom half nationally, at the 76th percentile. This data paints a picture of a school where the majority of pupils are not yet reaching the expected benchmark in the three core subjects, though individual subject results offer a slightly more nuanced view.

Looking at the individual subject breakdown for the 2023/24 academic year, reading is the strongest area, with 67% of pupils reaching the expected standard and 16% achieving a higher score. Writing follows at 64% expected, though only 2% reached the higher threshold. Maths sees 59% at the expected level and 8% at the higher level. Average scaled scores are 102 in reading and 100 in maths, both around the national average of 100. The school’s previous Ofsted inspection in 2009 rated it Requires Improvement overall, so the jump to Good in 2013 and the subsequent confirmation of that rating in 2023 represents a clear upward trajectory in leadership and management, which was also graded Good. With 55% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged community, which provides important context for its academic outcomes.

Eastfield is a popular school, oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake with 101 applications for 54 places, and 49 first-preference offers made. Its facilities are notably broad for a primary, including an ICT suite, music rooms, a gymnasium, a sensory room and even a chapel. Sports provision covers football, cricket, cross country, swimming, athletics and dance, while clubs include book club, gardening, film club and choir. The school has dedicated SEND provisions for moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health needs, speech language and communication needs, hearing impairment and physical disability. For families in Wolverhampton seeking a Good-rated school with strong pastoral and SEND support, Eastfield offers a well-resourced environment, though parents should weigh the below-average KS2 outcomes against the high level of disadvantage the school successfully serves.
