About St Peter's Collegiate Academy

St Peter's Collegiate Academy has turned a corner. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025, the school was awarded a Good rating across all five graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision. That marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2022, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall. The most telling academic metric is Progress 8, which measures how much pupils improve between the end of primary school and their GCSEs. St Peter's scored -0.15, which places it in the 'Average' band nationally. That's slightly below the Wolverhampton local authority average of -0.06, but the school ranks 11th out of 21 secondary schools in the area, putting it just inside the top half. With 1,306 pupils on roll and a Church of England character, it's a large, inclusive comprehensive that has clearly made strides in recent years.
