About St Stephen's Church of England Primary School

St Stephen's Church of England Primary School sits right on the Wolverhampton local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment, with 65% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths against the LA average of 64%. That places it 31st out of 72 primary schools in the borough, a solidly mid-table position. What stands out more sharply is the school's maths performance: 94% of pupils met the expected standard in maths, well above the national picture, and the average maths score of 106 suggests strong numeracy teaching. Reading and writing expected rates are lower at 68% and 90% respectively, and the proportion reaching the higher standard across all three subjects is just 10%, which is modest. The school is heavily skewed toward disadvantage — 63.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals — so achieving in line with the LA average is a notable outcome in context.
