About Allens Croft Primary School

Allens Croft Primary School in Birmingham is a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11, and its intake data tells a story of a school serving a community with significant need. With 405 pupils on roll against a capacity of 456, the school is not full, but demand is high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 101 applications for 35 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.89, and made 34 first-preference offers. That level of competition suggests strong local reputation despite the challenges. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 61.5%, which is well above the national average and points to a catchment with high levels of deprivation. The school’s religious character is listed as 'Does not apply', so it’s a non-denominational option for families across the area.
