About The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton

The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton sits within the Wolverhampton local authority, where it ranks second out of 21 secondary schools, placing it comfortably in the top 25% nationally. Its Progress 8 score of 0.56 is the metric driving that ranking, and it sits alongside strong local peers including Heath Park, Wolverhampton Girls' High School, and The Royal School, Wolverhampton. The school is a state-funded, mixed secondary with a sixth form, led by headteacher Sukhdev Singh Shoker. It has no religious character, despite its name, and serves 771 pupils against a capacity of 840. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 37.7%, which is significantly above the national average, giving context to the school's strong academic performance. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Moseley Park, about 3.4 kilometres away, but Khalsa Academy's own Good rating and high local rank mean it holds its own in a competitive landscape.
