About West Heath Primary School

Parents considering West Heath Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction in the most recent Parent View survey, which ran from September 2024 to September 2025. A very high 84% of the 68 respondents said they would recommend the school, and the picture from individual questions is similarly positive. 88% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 90% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 159 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.65, with 56 of those 63 first-preference families offered a spot. This level of demand suggests a school that has built a solid reputation among Birmingham families, and the data backs up that impression with strong parent endorsement.
