School overview

Park Hall Junior Academy is a primary school serving Walsall, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. It has 410 pupils aged 7 to 11 on roll. 68% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the top 43% of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 107 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 7% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Overall pupil absence was 4.9%. There are about 27.1 pupils per teacher. Park Hall Junior Academy 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.
