About St Michael's Catholic Primary Academy and Nursery

St Michael's Catholic Primary Academy and Nursery holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in November 2024, where inspectors confirmed that standards were being maintained. This represents a significant improvement from the school's previous graded inspection in 2015, when it was judged to require improvement overall, with leadership and management also rated at that lower level. The most telling exam metric for this primary school is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stands at 48 per cent. That figure is well below the Wolverhampton local authority average of 64 per cent, and it places the school 53rd out of 60 primary schools in the borough, putting it in the bottom half of local rankings. Nationally, St Michael's sits in the bottom 20 per cent of all primary schools on this measure, according to the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 data.
