About Pinfold Street Primary School

Pinfold Street Primary School sits in the middle of the pack in Walsall, ranking 38th out of 85 primary schools in the local authority. Its headline metric — the percentage of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths — stands at 54%, which is noticeably below the Walsall LA average of 61%. That seven-point gap is significant and worth weighing up, especially given that the school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 52.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average for primary schools. The school is also oversubscribed — 92 families applied for 58 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 53 of 54 first-preference applicants receiving offers — suggesting it remains a popular local choice despite the below-average headline results.
