About Kingshurst Primary School

Kingshurst Primary School is a mixed state primary in Solihull, currently educating 474 pupils against a capacity of 540, meaning it operates with some spare places. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 64.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average and likely significantly higher than the Solihull local authority average. Despite this, demand is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 96 applications for 58 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.66. Of those, 54 families put Kingshurst as their first preference, and all 54 received an offer. This suggests the school is a popular choice locally, particularly among families who prioritise it above others. The school has a nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it is non-denominational, with no religious character. The headteacher is Adam Dawes.
