About Stirchley Primary School

Stirchley Primary School is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11 in Birmingham, currently home to 217 pupils against a capacity of 236. That leaves a little headroom, but demand tells a different story: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 133 applications for just 30 places, with 32 families listing it as their first preference. Only 28 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.43 applicants per place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 32.5%, which is notably above the national average for primary schools and reflects the local demographic profile of this part of Birmingham. The school has nursery provision on site, so children can join from age three, and it operates as a non-faith community school with no religious character. Headteacher Davie Clifford leads a school that, based on its popularity at the admissions stage, clearly holds strong appeal for local families navigating a competitive primary market.
