About Moreton School

Moreton School is a mixed state secondary in Wolverhampton that is currently running above its official capacity, with 1,078 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 1,050. The school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage: 54.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 300 applications for 238 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.26. Of those, 125 were first-preference applications, and all 125 received offers. The school is led by headteacher Scott Williams and was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in 2020, with a subsequent ungraded inspection in March 2025 confirming that standards are being maintained. All five key areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision — were judged Good.
