About Millfields First School

Millfields First School in Bromsgrove is a state primary for children aged 5 to 9, currently home to 274 pupils against a capacity of 300. That leaves a little breathing room, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 82 applications for just 43 places, with 38 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.91 signals a school that local families are keen to get into. The pupil body is notably less disadvantaged than the national average — 14.6% of children qualify for free school meals, compared with roughly 23% across England. That figure sits below the Worcestershire average too, suggesting a relatively affluent catchment. The school is mixed, non-religious, and has no sixth form, but does offer nursery provision for younger siblings. Headteacher Lisa Montandon leads a school that feels popular and well-regarded in the area, even if it isn't the nearest outstanding option — that title belongs to Meadows First School, 1.8 km away.
