About Acocks Green Primary School

Acocks Green Primary School is a state primary in Birmingham that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local standing. With 480 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating well above its intended size. This demand is reflected in its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: 277 applications were received for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.62. Of those, 67 families put it as their first preference, and 54 received offers. The school’s intake is notably diverse in socio-economic terms — 36.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national primary average of around 23%. This suggests Acocks Green serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, yet the school remains a popular choice for local families. It is a mixed, non-religious school for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Sarah Ward.
