About Fibbersley Park Academy

Fibbersley Park Academy in Walsall has turned a corner academically. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. Every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good. That progress is reflected in the school’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24. While the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 54%, this sits just below the Walsall local authority average of 61%. The school’s ranking within the LA places it 37th out of 58 primary schools, putting it in the bottom half locally. However, the picture is more nuanced: 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, and 67% did so in maths, both stronger than the combined figure suggests.
