About Cottesbrooke Infant and Nursery School

Cottesbrooke Infant and Nursery School sits in the Birmingham local authority, where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 63. As an infant school taking children only up to age seven, Cottesbrooke doesn’t publish KS2 results — its pupils leave before that benchmark — so direct academic comparison with the LA average isn’t possible. What is clear from the data is that the school is in high demand. For its 56 reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 92 applications, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.64 applicants per place. Of those, 50 families put it as their first preference, and all 50 were offered a spot. That level of first-preference satisfaction suggests parents in Birmingham see it as a strong local option, even without the headline KS2 metric to lean on.
