About Chilcote Primary School

Chilcote Primary School in Birmingham is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for ages 3 to 11 that is running very close to full capacity, with 441 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 446. That near-full picture is backed up by the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake, which shows the school is oversubscribed: 165 families applied for 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.75. Of those, 71 put Chilcote as their first preference, and 57 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19.5%, which is worth noting in the context of Birmingham as a local authority, though the data doesn't provide a direct LA average for comparison. The school has nursery provision, so it takes children from age 3, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a non-faith option for local families.
