About Park Hall Junior Academy

Park Hall Junior Academy in Walsall was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2012, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. That's a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2009, when it was judged to require improvement. The most telling exam metric for this 7-11 primary is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 74% did so in the 2023/24 academic year. That's comfortably above the Walsall local authority average of 61% for the same measure, and it places the school 14th out of 58 primaries in the borough. In fact, Park Hall sits in the top 25% of schools nationally on this key benchmark, and in the top 22% across the West Midlands region.
