About Little Sutton Primary School

Little Sutton Primary School in Birmingham is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11 that is currently running above its official capacity. With 422 pupils on roll against a capacity of 408, the school is clearly in demand, and the 2025/26 admissions data backs that up: 186 applications were received for just 60 places, with 78 families listing it as their first preference. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 3.1, meaning more than three children applied for every available spot. The school's intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average — just 6.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the Birmingham primary average, which typically sits higher. The school is led by headteacher Rita Kaur and has no religious character. It does not offer nursery provision, so children join in Reception.
