About Warren Farm Primary School

Warren Farm Primary School in Birmingham is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, and its intake tells a clear story about the community it serves. With 321 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, the school is effectively full, and demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, 107 families applied for just 44 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. Of those, 40 were first-preference offers, meaning the school is a genuine first choice for many local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 51%, which is significantly higher than the national average and reflects the socioeconomic profile of the area. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Simon Taylor. It also offers nursery provision, which may be a practical draw for families with younger children looking for a continuous early years pathway.
