About Moorlands Primary School

Moorlands Primary School in Sandwell is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 203 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 37.4%, which is significantly above the national average and reflects the local demographic context of the area. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 34 total applications for 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.48. Of those, 21 were first-preference applications, and all 21 received offers, suggesting that while the school is popular locally, it is not yet oversubscribed to the point of turning away many first-choice families. The school has a non-religious character, and the headteacher is Katherine Roberts.
