St Michael's Church of England C Primary School
About St Michael's Church of England C Primary School
St Michael's Church of England C Primary School in Walsall holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent inspection in 2024, a change from the Outstanding grade it received in 2016. The inspection report rated all key areas — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good. But the most telling academic metric is the school's Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard score: 82% of pupils achieved this benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year. That places St Michael's well above the Walsall local authority average of 61% for primary schools, and ranks it 5th out of 58 primary schools in the borough. Nationally, the school sits in the top 9% of all primary schools for this measure, which gives a clear sense of the academic strength on offer here.
