School type

Infant school

Ages 2–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Delves Infant School is an infant school for pupils aged 2–7. 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.

Delves Infant School at a glance

Located in Walsall, Delves Infant School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 338 pupils aged 2 to 7.

91% of the families who made Delves Infant School their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, even though the school made at least as many offers as it had first choices - the rest withdrew, moved or fell outside a priority group. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.86 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Delves 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.
