Holland House Infant School and Nursery

About Holland House Infant School and Nursery

Holland House Infant School and Nursery sits within the Birmingham local authority, a large and diverse primary landscape that includes 292 schools of the same type. Among these, the top-performing peers locally are Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, all of which hold higher ranking scores. Holland House itself is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 7, with a nursery on site. It is not among the 28 outstanding-rated schools in the LA, but its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 judged it Good across all graded areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The school is led by headteacher Madeleine Bromley and has a capacity of 232 pupils, with 183 currently on roll. It is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 148 applications for 46 places, with 44 first-preference offers made.

Academically, the school’s most recent Ofsted report rated the quality of education as Good, with early years provision also judged Good. The previous inspection, back in 2010, had rated the school Outstanding overall, so the current Good rating represents a change in the grading framework rather than a decline in standards. The school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results because its pupils leave at age 7, so direct comparison with the LA average of 63% achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is not possible. However, the Parent View survey, based on 38 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows strong satisfaction: 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child does well. A total of 89% of respondents would recommend the school to other parents.

The school offers a range of facilities including a music room, sensory room, sports hall, library, dining hall, gymnasium and chapel. Sports provision covers cricket, rounders, dance, netball, cross country and swimming, while clubs include film club, chess, art club and choir. SEND support is available for a broad spectrum of needs, including specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing and visual impairments, physical disability, and other difficulties. The school is oversubscribed with a ratio of 3.22 applicants per place, so early application is essential. With its Good Ofsted rating, strong parent satisfaction, and wide-ranging SEND and extracurricular provision, Holland House suits families seeking a well-regarded infant school with nursery provision in the Birmingham area, particularly those who value a supportive environment with clear communication from staff.
