The record shows an expanding academy on Bryce Way in the middle of Lawley Village, growing to two forms to meet demand on a young estate and taking children from Reception through the final year. Admissions, term dates and uniform pages sit on the website, which quotes Ofsted calling the academy calm, safe and welcoming.
No public review scores are on record for Lawley Village Academy across the sources we hold, so families judge it on the inspection record and the website rather than on reviews. In our view the expansion and the clear parent pages are what stand out, while the empty customer record is what counts against the academy, with no fee or insurance detail published either.
In our view Lawley Village is the young estate's natural school: expanding classrooms, current parent pages and a Good record behind it. The empty review record keeps it sixth rather than higher, and a first parent-review footprint would lift it quickly.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Lawley Village Academy suits you if you want an expanding REAch2 academy in Lawley Village with a Good record and a clear parent-facing site [2] [1]. What counts against it is the absence of public review scores and of published insurance or fee details [1]. The June 2023 inspection is the latest word on standards [2].

State primary places are free, so ask the school office about dinner money, clubs and any nursery charges beyond the funded hours before term starts.

File before the January closing date for Reception starters, since late applications sit behind on-time ones.
What do parents say about Lawley Village Academy?
