Councillor Jacqui Coogan, the City of Wolverhampton Council's Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Work, said: "This is a tremendous performance by our Key Stage 2 pupils, who are once again outperforming their peers nationally.
"It follows the recent news that 9 out of 10 schools in our city are now rated either Good or Outstanding by Ofsted, the highest ever, and considerably above both the regional and national averages.
"We know that, if children are able to attend high performing schools, their educational outcomes are likely to be better – and this is being demonstrated in the Key Stage 2 results we are seeing."
St Bartholomew's Headteacher Rachael Kilmister added: "I am very proud of the outcomes of our pupils which is testament to the hard work of our children and staff and wonderful support from parents and carers. It's lovely to see the children flourish and achieve their potential, ready for the next stage of their education. Having attended Wolverhampton schools as a pupil myself, I feel privileged to work in such a fantastic community."
