About Causeway Green Primary School

Causeway Green Primary School is a mixed state primary in Sandwell, West Midlands, currently operating close to its capacity with 430 pupils against a school capacity of 460. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 27.5%, which is notably higher than the national average and reflects the school's role in serving a community with above-average levels of deprivation. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 57 applications for 43 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.33, with 38 first-preference applications all receiving offers. This suggests that while the school is popular locally, it is not among the most oversubscribed in the borough. The school offers nursery provision for children aged three and above, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a non-denominational option for families seeking a secular primary education in the area.
