About Elmore Green Primary School

Elmore Green Primary School is a mixed state primary in Walsall, West Midlands, and it is a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 312 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, the school is essentially full, and the demand is intense: for 45 places available in the 2025/26 intake, there were 101 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.24. Of those, 49 were first-preference applications, and only 44 first-preference offers were made, meaning even families who listed it as their top choice were not guaranteed a spot. The school serves a community with significant economic need — 47.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average of around 23% and signals a catchment with higher-than-average deprivation. This context matters because it frames the school's achievements: it is performing solidly despite the challenges that come with a high-FSM intake.
