About Long Knowle Primary School

Long Knowle Primary School is a state primary in Wolverhampton, serving 220 pupils aged 3 to 11. It sits 37th out of 60 primary schools in the local authority, placing it in the bottom half of the LA's rankings. For context, the top-performing nearby peers include St Bartholomew's Church of England Primary School, Oak Meadow Primary School, and Bushbury Lane Academy, all of which score higher on the same ranking metric. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 49 applications for 26 places, with 23 first-preference offers made. That oversubscription ratio of 1.88 suggests a solid local reputation, even if its ranking doesn't place it among the LA's elite. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Whitgreave Primary School, 1.9 km away. Long Knowle itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating.
