About Kings Heath Primary School

Kings Heath Primary School is a large state primary in Birmingham, currently home to 664 pupils against a capacity of 756, meaning it has room to grow but is clearly in high demand. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 242 applications for 90 places, with 81 of those coming as first preferences and only 79 offers made to first-preference families. That works out at 2.69 applications for every available place, a strong signal that local parents are keen to get in. The school’s intake reflects a diverse community: 23.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average for primary schools (around 23%) but sits within the typical range for Birmingham, a city with higher-than-average deprivation. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. Headteacher Mark Court leads a school that has held a Good Ofsted rating since at least 2012, with its most recent full inspection in 2023 confirming that rating across every category.
