About Eaton Valley Primary School

Eaton Valley Primary School in Sandwell is a state-funded mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, and it is currently running very close to its full capacity of 465 pupils with 460 on roll. The school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 29% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 90 applications for just 51 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.76, and only 44 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of competition suggests Eaton Valley is a popular local choice, particularly given that Sandwell has 92 primary schools in total, of which only ten are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. The school itself is non-religious, with no formal faith designation, and it offers nursery provision for children from age three.
