About Brearley Nursery School

Brearley Nursery School stands out sharply against the Birmingham local authority average for nursery schools, and not just because of its headline Ofsted rating. Of the 27 nursery schools in Birmingham, only 17 hold an Outstanding grade, placing Brearley in the top tier of early years provision in the area. Its nearest Outstanding neighbour, Newtown Nursery School, is 0.6 km away, so competition for places among these top-rated settings is likely fierce. The school’s most recent inspection, in March 2022, awarded it the highest possible mark across every single category: quality of education, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all judged Outstanding. This is a clean sweep that few schools achieve, and it represents a continuation of excellence from its previous inspection in 2014, where early years provision, overall effectiveness, and leadership were also rated Outstanding. For parents in Birmingham, this consistency is a strong signal that the school’s quality is not a one-off.
