Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

Leamore Primary School at a glance

Located in Walsall, Leamore Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 249 pupils aged 2 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' when it was last inspected in December 2025. 63% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, broadly in line with the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 6.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Leamore Primary School is oversubscribed: about 8 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 35 first choices for 30 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.40 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 6.2%. There are about 21.7 pupils per teacher.
