About Garden Village Primary Academy

Garden Village Primary Academy in Tamworth holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a solid foundation for a school that is clearly in high demand among local families. The most telling academic metric available is the school’s oversubscription ratio of 1.83 for the 2025/26 intake, meaning nearly two families applied for every one of the 30 places on offer. With 55 total applications and 36 first-preference requests, the school had to turn away six families who put it as their top choice. This level of competition suggests strong local confidence in the school’s provision, even though the school is small — just 20 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. Headteacher Sonia Burke leads a mixed, non-denominational primary for ages 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form. The school does not publish its own Key Stage 2 results in the available data, but the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 65, providing a rough benchmark for the area.
