About St Patricks Church of England Primary Academy

St Patricks Church of England Primary Academy is a state primary in Solihull, a local authority where five schools currently hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself ranks 9th out of 42 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the top quarter locally. Its closest high-performing peers include St Alphege Church of England Junior School, Monkspath Junior and Infant School, and Knowle Church of England Primary Academy, all of which sit just ahead in the rankings. With a capacity of 240 pupils and 238 on roll, the school is nearly full and clearly popular among local families. It serves a mixed-gender, Church of England community from age 3 to 11, and offers nursery provision for younger children. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, 83 applications were received for 30 places, with 28 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.77. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among parents in the area.
