About Summerfield Primary School

Summerfield Primary School in Birmingham is a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 439 pupils against a capacity of 460. That leaves a handful of spare places, but the real story is in the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 99 applications for 43 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. Of those, 42 were first-preference applications, and exactly 42 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it first got a spot, but anyone listing it lower faced stiff competition. The school’s intake is notably diverse in socioeconomic terms: 66.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a clear signal of the community it serves. With nursery provision on site, it draws families from the earliest years, and its non-religious character means it serves a broad cross-section of local families without a faith-based admissions criteria.
