About Highfield Junior and Infant School

Highfield Junior and Infant School sits within the Birmingham local authority, a large and varied primary landscape where it ranks 114th out of 254 schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure. That places it in the top half of its peers, though it sits some way behind the top-performing local schools: Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest all score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The school is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with headteacher Stephanie Davies at the helm. It is a large school, with 681 pupils on roll against a capacity of 840, and it serves a community where 38.9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Shaw Hill Primary School, just 0.7 kilometres away, so families in this part of Birmingham have a strong local alternative to consider.
