Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Nonsuch Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

About Nonsuch Primary School

Nonsuch Primary School is a primary school in Birmingham, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 188 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds a 'Good' judgement from Ofsted (January 2026). In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 52% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — below the national average of 61%. That is down 9.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 103 in reading and 102 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 10% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Nonsuch Primary School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 19 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 8.8%. There are about 17.1 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 64% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. When you visit, you might ask how the school stretches its higher-attaining pupils and supports those who need to catch up.
