About Boothroyd Primary Academy

If you're a parent considering Boothroyd Primary Academy, the first thing you'll notice is how strongly current families feel about it. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 95% of the 21 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's a very high endorsement.

Behaviour is also a clear strength, with 96% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well-behaved. This level of satisfaction is reflected in demand for places.
