About Austhorpe Primary School

Austhorpe Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Leeds, and it is genuinely oversubscribed. With 213 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is effectively full, and the demand is striking: for 30 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 138 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.6. Of those, 31 families put it as their first preference, and 28 received offers. That level of competition suggests strong local reputation, even though the school does not have a religious character or a nursery. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%), indicating a relatively affluent intake. This is a school that families in the area are actively fighting to get into, and the numbers back that up.
