About Billesley Primary School

Billesley Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary in Birmingham that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local reputation. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 217 applications for just 89 places, with 99 of those coming as first preferences, resulting in an oversubscription ratio of 2.44. The school currently has 698 pupils on roll, well above its official capacity of 630. Demographically, 47.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that is notably higher than the national average for primary schools, reflecting the school's role in serving a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three, and its intake spans the full primary age range from 3 to 11. With no religious character, it is a community school open to all local families.
