The school is divided into four years: Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, Year 6[2] (following on from Bournville Infant school, which contains years Reception (Year 0) to Year 2). Then it is further separated into three classes per year. In each class there are usually 32 children, adding up to 96 children per year and 384 in the whole school. Pupils are members of one of four houses: Mars, Jupiter, Neptune or Venus.

Some school events, such as sports day, are organised in these houses.
