About King George V Primary School

King George V Primary School is a mixed state primary in Sandwell, West Midlands, currently educating 229 pupils against a capacity of 262, meaning it operates with some spare places. Its intake is notably diverse in socioeconomic terms: 41.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and indicative of a community with significant disadvantage.
