About Wood Green Junior School

Wood Green Junior School in Sandwell is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 7 to 11, currently home to 337 children against a capacity of 360. That leaves a small amount of headroom, but the school is clearly well-subscribed. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 42.1%, which is notably high — more than double the national average for primary schools, and a strong indicator that the school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage. The school is non-religious and does not have a nursery or sixth form, so its intake is purely from Year 3 upwards. With 92 primary schools in the local authority, Wood Green ranks 63rd, placing it in the bottom half of Sandwell’s primaries. That ranking is based on the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which gives a clear sense of where the school sits academically relative to its neighbours.
