About Millfield Primary School

Millfield Primary School in Walsall is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 215 pupils against a capacity of 236. That leaves a little breathing room, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 42 applications for 27 places, with all 27 first-preference families securing a spot. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.56, meaning for every place, more than one and a half families wanted it. The school’s intake is notably diverse in socioeconomic terms — 45.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23-24%. This context matters when looking at the school’s performance, as it serves a community with higher-than-average disadvantage. Headteacher Alison Stacey leads a school that, despite these pressures, has maintained a Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection, a grade it has held consistently across both its 2012 and 2025 inspections.
