About Green Meadow Primary School

Green Meadow Primary School sits within Birmingham’s large and varied primary landscape, where 292 state schools compete for attention. In the most recent local rankings, it placed 129th, placing it squarely in the middle of the pack. The top-performing peers in the authority — Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest — all score significantly higher on the ranking metric, but Green Meadow holds its own as a solidly Good-rated option. Its headteacher, Janine Arrowsmith, leads a school of 410 pupils, just shy of its 420 capacity, and the school is clearly popular with local families: for 2025/26 admissions, it received 149 applications for 60 places, with 65 first-preference applications. That oversubscription ratio of 2.48 tells you this is a school that local parents actively want, even if it doesn’t top the league tables.
