Palfrey Infant School

Palfrey Infant School, located in Walsall, is a mixed primary academy with a capacity for 360 pupils. The school prides itself on fostering a happy and friendly atmosphere where children feel valued and supported. The dedicated staff, along with parents and governors, work collaboratively to create a nurturing environment that encourages excellent behaviour and a love for learning. The school’s motto, "Happy Children, Aiming High," reflects its commitment to providing a first-class educational experience.

The school’s mission, encapsulated in the acronym B.E.S.T (Belonging, Enjoying, Succeeding Together), aims to ensure that every child feels a sense of belonging while enjoying their educational journey. Palfrey Infant School prioritises language and literacy development and promotes positive behaviour through reinforcement. The school also values cultural diversity and strives to build strong connections with families and the wider community.

In June 2025, Palfrey Infant School joined the Forge Brook Trust, enhancing collaborative opportunities with local schools. This partnership aims to strengthen support for families and further enrich the educational experiences offered to pupils, ensuring they reach their full potential.
