St James Academy
About St James Academy
St James Academy, a state primary in Walsall, sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score across similar schools is 61. The school’s own KS2 results are not provided in the data, so a direct comparison against that LA average is not possible here. What is clear is that Walsall has 85 primary schools of this type, and only six of them hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. St James Academy is not among them, but its most recent inspection grade is also absent from the data, leaving its current standing relative to the LA average somewhat opaque. The school does, however, offer nursery provision for children from age three, which is a practical advantage for local families seeking continuity from early years through to Year 6. Its mixed gender intake and non-religious character make it a straightforward option for parents who prefer a secular setting, though the presence of a chapel on site suggests some historical or architectural link worth noting.
