About Birchwood Primary School

If you're a parent considering Birchwood Primary School, the feedback from other families is strikingly positive. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 97% of the 86 respondents said they would recommend the school. That level of endorsement is hard to ignore. Digging into the specifics, 83% strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 92% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is another strong point, with 86% strongly agreeing that pupils are well-behaved. The school is clearly popular, too: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 115 applications for just 60 places, with 70 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at nearly two applicants for every spot, so getting a place is competitive. The school is also oversubscribed, meaning it's a sought-after choice for local families in North Warwickshire.
