About King David Primary School

King David Primary School in Birmingham is a Jewish faith school that clearly appeals to local families, with 25 applications for just 13 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.92. Nine of those applications were first-preference offers, suggesting a committed core of parents who actively chose the school. However, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Requires Improvement overall, a downgrade from its previous Good rating in 2012. The inspection report highlights that while leadership and management require improvement, the school still earned Good marks for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. With 158 pupils on roll against a capacity of 220, the school is not full, which may reflect some parental caution following the Ofsted change, though demand remains strong enough to create a competitive entry.
