About Birches Green Primary School

Birches Green Primary School is a state primary in Birmingham that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications for just 44 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. Of those, 41 were first-preference applications, and 41 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a place. That’s a strong signal of confidence from parents, though the school does not publish a parent view survey recommendation percentage. The school is larger than its capacity suggests, with 455 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, so it’s running above its intended size. Headteacher Anna Stevenson leads a mixed, non-religious primary for ages 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. The school serves a community where 57.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average, which gives important context to its academic results.
