About Greenholm Primary School

Greenholm Primary School in Birmingham is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, and it is effectively full, with 632 pupils against a capacity of 630. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 35.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. Demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 195 applications for 90 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.17. Of those, 105 were first-preference applications, and 85 first-preference offers were made, meaning a significant number of families who wanted this school as their top choice were turned away. The school has no religious character and no nursery or sixth-form provision, so it is a straightforward primary option for local families.
