About St Thomas Church of England Primary School

St Thomas Church of England Primary School sits within Birmingham local authority, where it ranks 37th out of 254 primary schools on the key stage 2 expected standard measure, placing it in the top 25 per cent of its peers. The school’s ranking score of 77 puts it behind the three top-performing schools in the area: Little Sutton Primary School, Cromwell Junior and Infant School, and Lift Lea Forest, each of which scores 93 or above. St Thomas is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary with a Church of England religious character, serving children from age 3 to 11. The school is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 151 applications for 30 places, with 66 first-preference applications and 25 first-preference offers. That level of demand suggests strong local reputation. The school also has a nursery provision, which may appeal to families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
