About Featherstone Primary School

Featherstone Primary School in Birmingham is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is heavily oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 207 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.45. Of those, 65 were first-preference applications, and 58 first-preference offers were made, meaning a significant number of families who wanted a place here did not get one. The school currently has 417 pupils against a capacity of 420, so it is running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 48.2%, which is notably high and reflects the local demographic context. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher E Gaibee. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated the school Good overall, with Outstanding marks for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes.
