About Blaise Primary and Nursery School

Blaise Primary and Nursery School in Bristol is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, currently home to 434 pupils against a capacity of 445. That near-full roll is no surprise given the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 109 applications for just 60 places, with 50 of those as first preferences and 48 offers made to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.82, meaning nearly two families compete for each spot. The school serves a notably diverse intake — 35.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national primary average of around 23%, reflecting the community it draws from in the Bristol, City of local authority. Headteacher Massimo Bonaddio leads a school that, despite this pressure on places, appears to be a popular choice among local families.
