Infant school

Ages 3–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Walmley Infant School is an infant school for pupils aged 3–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

About Walmley Infant School

Walmley Infant School is a primary school in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a foundation school. Around 315 pupils aged 3 to 7 attend the school.

Competition for places is real here - 98% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (91 first choices for 90 places). Overall pupil absence was 5.0%. There are about 19.2 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 6% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Walmley Infant School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
