About Flax Hill Junior Academy

Flax Hill Junior Academy is a state primary in Tamworth, Staffordshire, for children aged 7 to 11. With 301 pupils on roll against a capacity of 300, the school is effectively full, which suggests it is a popular choice among local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 32. 2%, significantly higher than the national average of around 23%, indicating that the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its most recent graded inspection in 2012, with an ungraded inspection in 2021 confirming it remains Good. The leadership and management were also judged Good. This stability in quality, combined with the school’s full capacity, points to consistent demand from parents in the area.
