About Westminster Primary School

Westminster Primary School is a state primary in Birmingham that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local demand. With 457 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating above its official limit. Its intake reflects a high level of socio-economic disadvantage: 55.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, more than double the national average for primary schools. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 124 applications for just 54 places, with all 54 offers going to first-preference families. That works out at 2.3 applications per place, meaning a substantial number of families who wanted a spot didn't get one. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, serving children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. It is led by headteacher Maneer Samad.
