Anglesey Primary School
About Anglesey Primary School
Anglesey Primary School is a popular choice among Birmingham families, with 180 applications chasing just 69 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at 2. 61 applications per place, and the school is officially oversubscribed. Of those 180 applicants, 67 put Anglesey as their first preference, and all 67 received an offer. The school doesn’t publish a parent recommendation percentage in the data, but the sheer demand suggests a strong local reputation. Headteacher Adrian Pembleton leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The school is large, with 697 pupils against a capacity of 782, and a high proportion of pupils — 60. 2 per cent — are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in March 2024, the school was rated Good overall, with Good marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a consistent improvement from its previous inspection in 2012, when leadership and management was rated Outstanding but the overall effectiveness was also Good.
