About Heathfields Infant Academy

Heathfields Infant Academy, a state primary in Tamworth, serves children from ages 5 to 7 and holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results because its pupils leave at the end of Year 2, the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 65, giving a useful benchmark for the schools its children will later attend. The most striking headline metric is its oversubscription: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications for 63 places, with 61 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.44, meaning nearly one and a half families compete for every place. This level of demand suggests strong local reputation, particularly given that the school operates in a large authority with 308 primary schools, only 20 of which are rated Outstanding.
