About Kings Rise Academy

Kings Rise Academy is a popular choice among Birmingham families, with 32 of its 33 reception places for 2025/26 going to first-preference applicants, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.36. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, a clear signal of local confidence in the school. Parent satisfaction data isn't published here, but the high demand suggests a strong reputation. The school serves 451 pupils aged 3 to 11, with 65 per cent eligible for free school meals, reflecting a community with significant socioeconomic need. Headteacher Louise Noonan leads a mixed, non-religious state primary that has clearly turned a corner: its most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2023 awarded a Good rating across all five categories, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership. This is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when the school was rated Requires Improvement across the board.
