About Bellfield Infant School (NC)

Parents considering Bellfield Infant School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already there. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 84% of the 44 respondents said they would recommend the school. That’s a solid vote of confidence, and it’s backed up by specific feedback: 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 95% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For its 2025/26 reception intake, Bellfield received 123 applications for just 45 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.73. Only 40 of those applicants put it as their first preference, meaning every first-preference family secured a spot, but the overall demand shows the school’s reputation in Birmingham is strong. It’s a smaller setting, with 178 pupils against a capacity of 226, and it serves a community where 47.1% of children are eligible for free school meals.
