About Twickenham Primary School

Twickenham Primary School is a state primary in Birmingham that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local reputation. With 442 pupils on roll against a capacity of 416, the school is operating above its official limit, and for the 2025/26 intake it received 103 applications for just 39 places. Of those, 37 were first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.64 applicants per place. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 54.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23% and notably higher than the Birmingham primary average. Despite this, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2009 graded inspection, and its most recent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. Leadership and management were judged Outstanding in that inspection, while early years provision was rated Requires Improvement.
