Relocation to Birmingham - Primary school

[Arizon]

We are relocating to Birmingham this December or January 2023. We have found a house in Kingstanding and we are searching for good primary school in the area. I would appreciate some advices/experiences on how primary school transfers work as well as primary school recommendations in the Kingstanding area.

Kingstanding has a lot of primary schools and covers a wide area. Not knowing which side of KS you're in makes it difficult to advise. You can DM me if you want as there is a wide variety of standards in the area.

@Oblahdeeoblahdoe Thanks for your prompt response. The house is between College Road and Kingstanding Road.

I've DMD you

Mid year transfer offers will be dependant on which schools have spaces.
I don't think all LEA's will be as helpful, but I emailed ours, and asked for which schools in our town (6 primaries, so not a massive request) had immediate spaces in the years I required. They sent me where had vacencies. I filled in the forms with schools that had recently had spaces (they could have been allocated while I filled in the forms) and we got allocated second choice (first choice was full for one child, but I sent it back saying if we could have both in that school, that's what we wanted, otherwise both in choice 2).

Catchment area isn't particularly relevant, it's down to spaces.
