About Wilkinson Primary School

Wilkinson Primary School sits within Wolverhampton local authority, where it ranks 26th out of 60 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it comfortably in the top half of its local peers, though it sits behind the three highest-scoring schools in the area: St Bartholomew's Church of England Primary School, Oak Meadow Primary School and Bushbury Lane Academy. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 2 to 11, with no religious character and a current roll of 491 pupils — well above its official capacity of 420, which suggests it is a popular choice among local families. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2021, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2012. Leadership and management were also judged Good at that graded inspection, and the school has maintained that standard over the intervening period.
