About Graiseley Primary School

Graiseley Primary School in Wolverhampton received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in May 2024, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held since its previous inspection in 2018. The most telling academic metric for this 227-pupil primary is the proportion of Year 6 pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 54% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is ten percentage points below the local authority average of 64% for Wolverhampton, and it places the school 45th out of 60 primaries in the borough. Nationally, Graiseley sits in the bottom half of all primaries, ranking in the 71st percentile. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 88 applications for just 24 places in the 2025/26 intake, suggesting strong local demand despite the inspection outcome.
