As parents recently found out which schools their Year 6 children will be attending this September, we have scoured the data to find the schools in Birmingham that are the hardest to get into

National Offer Day last week was a tense time for many families and unfortunately not all children in Birmingham received the school allocation they had wished for.

While a school-by-school breakdown for the 2025-2026 academic year will not be released until later this spring, the latest available DfE figures show which Birmingham secondary schools were the hardest to get into in September 2024.

So take a look at the gallery below to see the secondary schools in the city which were hardest to get into, based on 2024-25 DfE figures
