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

Every child who put Salisbury Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Salisbury Primary School at a glance

Located in Wednesbury, Walsall, Salisbury Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a community school. The school educates roughly 324 pupils aged 3 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 67% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 6.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 104 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Salisbury Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 24 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.6%. There are about 17.9 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 52% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Salisbury Primary 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.
