About Cooper and Jordan Church of England Primary School
Cooper and Jordan Church of England Primary School in Walsall is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently home to 485 pupils against a capacity of 500. That near-full roll suggests a settled local reputation, and the demand is clearly there: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 73 applications for 35 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of just over two applicants per spot. All 35 first-preference families were offered a place, which is a reassuring signal for parents who put it top of their list. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 12.9%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools in the Walsall area. The school has a Church of England character and a headteacher, Paul Ingles, who has been in post since at least the most recent inspection.
