About Bartley Green School

Bartley Green School is a mixed secondary in Birmingham that clearly commands strong local demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 682 applications for 182 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.75 to one. Of those applications, 165 were first-preference choices, and 146 of those families received offers. That level of competition suggests a school that local parents actively want, even if official parent-view survey data isn't available in this dataset. The school is led by headteacher Jane Chan and educates 928 pupils aged 11 to 16, with no sixth form. It's a state-funded, non-religious school with a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 56.1 per cent, well above the national average, which gives useful context for its academic results.
