About Slade Primary School

Slade Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in Birmingham, serving children aged 3 to 11. In the local authority’s rankings for Key Stage 2 performance, it sits at 67th out of 254 primary schools, placing it comfortably in the top 26% of Birmingham primaries. That puts it in the same broad league as well-regarded local peers like Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, though those three schools score higher on the same ranking metric. Slade is a large school, with 454 pupils on roll and a capacity of 459, and it is noticeably oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 150 applications for 60 places, with 58 of those going to first-preference families. The school has a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 52.1%, well above the national average, which gives useful context for its academic results.
