About Barwick-in-Elmet CofE Primary School and Nursery
Barwick-in-Elmet CofE Primary School and Nursery is a Church of England state primary in Leeds, currently educating 212 pupils against a capacity of 234, so there is a little headroom in terms of physical space. However, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, it received 62 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.3, and all 27 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school also has a nursery provision, taking children from age three, and is led by headteacher Sarah Daggett. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2018, rated it Good overall, a grade it has held consistently since at least 2009, when it was also judged Good.
