About Moseley School and Sixth Form

Moseley School and Sixth Form is a heavily oversubscribed state secondary in Birmingham, with 1,127 applications for 249 places in the 2025/26 admissions round — an oversubscription ratio of 4.53. That means more than four families applied for every available spot, and only 171 first-preference offers were made out of 180 first-preference applications, so being put at the top of your list is no guarantee of a place. The school does not have a parent-view recommendation percentage in the data, but the sheer volume of applications suggests strong local demand. With 62.1 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a significantly disadvantaged community, and its size is large at 1,428 pupils against a capacity of 1,475. Headteacher Andrew Bate leads a mixed, non-religious secondary with a sixth form, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021 judged it Good overall, with Good for leadership and management and Good for sixth-form provision.
