Colebourne Primary School
About Colebourne Primary School
Colebourne Primary School in Birmingham is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 3 to 11 that is currently running slightly above its official capacity, with 451 pupils on roll against a capacity of 446. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 39.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Demand for places is extremely strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 193 applications for just 57 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.39 to one. All 50 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the sheer volume of total applications means many families will be disappointed. The school has a nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it is non-denominational, with no religious character. The headteacher is Stuart Guest.
