About Whitehall Junior Community School

Whitehall Junior Community School in Walsall has turned a corner academically, with its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 awarding a Good rating across all four categories — overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. This marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2018, when the school was rated Requires Improvement in both overall effectiveness and leadership. The school serves 347 pupils aged 7 to 11, with a notably high proportion of 44.1 per cent eligible for free school meals. The most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 66 per cent, which sits above the Walsall local authority average of 61 per cent. That places Whitehall 24th out of 58 primary schools in the borough, and in the top half nationally at the 42nd percentile.
