About North Walsall Primary Academy

North Walsall Primary Academy is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 39 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.44. Of those applications, 23 were first-preference choices, and 23 offers were made to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests parents who have done their homework see something worthwhile here. The school is led by headteacher Sabrina Khera and currently has 238 pupils on roll, which is above its official capacity of 210. It also offers nursery provision for children from age three, so it can be a single drop-off point for families with younger siblings. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed it remains Good, a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2018, when it was rated Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness are all now rated Good.
