About St Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School
St Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School sits within the Walsall local authority, where it ranks 4th out of 58 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it comfortably in the top 10% locally. Among its closest performing peers are St Anne's Catholic Primary School, Streetly, which tops the local rankings, followed by Croft Academy and Reedswood E-ACT Academy. The school is one of only six primaries in Walsall to hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, though St Mary of the Angels itself is rated Good, with its most recent inspection in July 2024 confirming that standard across all categories. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Anne's, 2.7 kilometres away, so for Catholic families in the area, this school represents a strong alternative with a clear religious character and a consistent track record.
