About Castle Bromwich Infant and Nursery School

Castle Bromwich Infant and Nursery School sits within Solihull local authority, a borough where only five of 59 primary schools currently hold an Ofsted Outstanding rating. The school itself is rated Good, placing it among the solid majority in the area. The top-performing peers in the same local authority, according to ranking scores, are St Alphege Church of England Junior School, Monkspath Junior and Infant School, and Knowle Church of England Primary Academy. For families specifically looking at infant-phase provision, Castle Bromwich is one of the larger options, with 495 pupils on roll against a capacity of 450, meaning it is oversubscribed. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 213 total applications for 119 places, with 134 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.79 suggests strong local demand, particularly from families seeking a non-denominational state option in an area where several of the top-ranked peers have a Church of England character.
