Getting a place

Admissions policy not published.

Money

Money

From the academy accounts return, year to August 2025. The per-pupil figures are compared with other primary schools in England that report their accounts the same way.

Spend per pupil£5,188England £7,128. Total £12m
Income per pupil£6,580England £7,587. Total £16m
Spent on teachers per pupil£3,042England £3,405

Money in against money out+£3.3mit took in more than it spent this year
Where the money goes£5,188spent per pupil

Reserves are the money left over at the end of the year, kept back for emergencies and big projects. Being in the red year after year is a warning sign. Very large reserves can mean money sitting in the bank instead of being spent on today's pupils. Academy figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000 and include a share of any money the trust holds centrally.

The area around the school

Crimes within 500 m2612 months to June 2026, mostly violence and sexual offences
Local crime rate239 per 1,000 people163% higher than the England average
Typical house price£328,000Solihull

Crime figures come from police.uk. The police record each crime at the nearest of a fixed set of map points rather than the exact spot, so “within 500 m” is only rough. House prices are from HM Land Registry sales nearby over the last two years.
