straight line, 2026 intake · 12556 m

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Codsall Middle School at a glance

Located in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, Codsall Middle School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 523 pupils aged 9 to 13. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 12.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 105 in reading and 103 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 7.80 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 18.5 pupils per teacher. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
