About Holly Hill Methodist CofE Infant School

Parents considering Holly Hill Methodist CofE Infant School will find a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 76 applications for its 48 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.58. All 48 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it first, the school is a realistic choice. The school has a nursery provision, so families with three-year-olds can get a foot in the door early. With 183 pupils on roll against a capacity of 206, there is some headroom, but the oversubscription shows it is a popular option in Birmingham. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 graded the school as Good overall, with leadership and management also rated Good. This is a notable improvement from the previous inspection in 2015, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. The early years provision, which was previously rated Requires Improvement, is now Good.
