About Yew Tree Community Junior and Infant School (NC)

Yew Tree Community Junior and Infant School in Birmingham is a state primary that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local demand. With 461 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating above its official limit. Its intake reflects a high level of disadvantage: 57.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 98 applications for just 50 places, with all 50 first-preference applicants being offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.96, meaning nearly two families applied for every place. The school is non-denominational and mixed, serving children from age 3 through to 11, and it also offers nursery provision. Headteacher Shaukat Islam leads a school that clearly draws strong local interest, particularly from families who value a community-focused primary within Birmingham’s state system.
