About Northfield Manor Primary Academy

Northfield Manor Primary Academy is a state primary school in Birmingham that is currently running close to capacity, with 391 pupils on roll against a school capacity of 420. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 45.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and suggests the school plays a significant role in supporting families facing economic challenges. Demand for places is strong. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 98 applications for just 36 places, with all 36 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. That works out at 2.72 applications for every available place, a clear signal that local families are keen to get their children in. The school is mixed gender and non-religious, and it caters to children from age 4 through to 11.
