About Mapledene Primary School

Mapledene Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Birmingham families, with 108 applications for just 44 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at 2. 45 applications per place, and of the 43 families who put it as their first preference, all 43 received an offer. It’s a strong signal that parents who know the school want to send their children there. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2022, confirmed it remains Good, and its previous graded inspection in March 2017 also rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and the quality of education all judged Good. With 311 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, Mapledene is running very close to full, which matches the oversubscription picture.
