About Delves Junior School

Delves Junior School sits in a Walsall local authority where the average Key Stage 2 performance measure is 61, but the school’s own most recent Ofsted inspection tells a more nuanced story. While the LA average for primary schools is a useful benchmark, Delves Junior has been rated Good overall since its 2022 graded inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2018. What really stands out is the inspection’s breakdown: behaviour and attitudes, along with leadership and management, were both judged Outstanding. That’s a stronger headline than the LA average can capture, and it suggests a school that has turned around decisively under headteacher Rebecca Fletcher. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender junior school for ages 7 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form, and a capacity of 360 pupils. Its religious character is listed as not applicable, so it’s a community-focused option rather than a faith school.
