About St Peter and St Paul RC Junior and Infant School

St Peter and St Paul RC Junior and Infant School is a small Roman Catholic primary in Birmingham, running at near-full capacity with 206 pupils against a school capacity of 210. Its intake reflects a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 18% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with the national primary average of around 24% and a Birmingham local authority average that typically sits in the low 20s. The school is clearly in demand among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 59 applications for just 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.81. Of those 59 applicants, 18 were first-preference choices, and all 18 received offers. That means every family who put the school as their top pick secured a place, but with 41 other applicants competing for the remaining three spots, it is a school where being a first-preference choice matters.
