About Erdington Hall Primary School

Erdington Hall Primary School is a state primary in Birmingham that parents clearly feel strongly about, though opinions are divided. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 67% of the 27 parents who responded said they would recommend the school. That leaves a notable 33% who would not, which is a higher proportion of dissatisfaction than you typically see. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 77 applications for just 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.67. All 21 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the sheer volume of applications suggests strong local demand. On specific questions, 74% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 78% felt their child does well. However, only 45% agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, and just 30% felt the school supports wider personal development, which are areas the school will want to address.
