About Bordesley Green Girls' School & Sixth Form

Bordesley Green Girls' School & Sixth Form is a state secondary school in Birmingham that is heavily oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local demand. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 886 applications for just 121 places, with 104 of those applicants listing it as their first preference. The school currently has 965 pupils against a capacity of 1,000, so it is running very close to full. The intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 60.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national average and places the school in a context where it serves a community with high levels of economic deprivation. The school is a girls-only institution for ages 11 to 18, with a non-religious character, and is led by headteacher Pritpal Hyare.
