St Giles Church of England Primary School
About St Giles Church of England Primary School
St Giles Church of England Primary School in Walsall posts Key Stage 2 results that sit comfortably above the local authority average for primary schools. While the Walsall average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 61%, St Giles achieves 67% — a clear six-point advantage. This places the school 22nd out of 58 primaries in the borough, putting it in the top 40% nationally. Its maths results are particularly strong: 89% of pupils hit the expected standard, and 41% reached the higher standard, with an average scaled score of 108. Reading follows closely, with 85% at expected and 39% at the higher level. Writing is the relative weak spot — 70% at expected and just 11% at higher — but the combined figure still beats the local benchmark. The school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least 2014, and an ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Good, a notable improvement from its Requires Improvement rating in 2012.
