About Walsall Wood School

Walsall Wood School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.03. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and of the 33 families who put it as their first preference, 30 were offered a place. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, this level of demand is a strong signal in itself. The school is led by headteacher Daniel Fowlie and caters to 234 pupils aged 3 to 11, operating above its official capacity of 210. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary in the Walsall local authority, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children.
