About SS John and Monica Catholic Primary School

SS John and Monica Catholic Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in Birmingham with a published capacity of 210 pupils and a current roll of 208, meaning it is effectively full. The school serves a community where 30.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average for primary schools and indicative of the area’s relative deprivation. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 81 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.7 to one. Of those, 29 were first-preference applications, and 26 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that while the school is popular locally, not every family who wants a place gets one. The school’s Roman Catholic character likely shapes its intake, though the data does not specify faith-based admissions criteria.
