About Kingsbury Primary School

Kingsbury Primary School is a primary school in Tamworth, Warwickshire, classified by the DfE as a community school. Around 226 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted (February 2026). In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 54% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 7.0 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 in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 101 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 2% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Kingsbury Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 24 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 2.37 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 7.1%. There are about 21.5 pupils per teacher.
