About St Margaret Mary RC Junior and Infant School

St Margaret Mary RC Junior and Infant School is a state primary in Birmingham that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of local demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 112 applications for just 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.73. Of those applicants, 34 put it as their first preference, and all 34 received an offer. The school is currently operating above its official capacity of 315, with 349 pupils on roll. Its intake reflects a community with high levels of disadvantage: 50.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. As a Roman Catholic school, it serves a specific faith community within Birmingham, though the data doesn't specify whether this affects admissions criteria. The school also offers nursery provision for children aged three and up, so families can start here before Reception.
