About Salisbury Primary School

Salisbury Primary School is a mixed state primary in Walsall, West Midlands, currently home to 324 pupils against a capacity of 367, so it is running below its maximum roll. The school serves a community with significantly higher-than-average levels of disadvantage: 50.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 23%. This context makes the school’s popularity all the more notable. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 31 total applications for 21 places, with all 21 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.48, a clear signal that local families are actively choosing Salisbury. The school has nursery provision for children aged three and above, and its religious character is listed as ‘does not apply’, making it a fully non-denominational option in the area.
