About Bradshaw Hall Primary School

Bradshaw Hall Primary School is clearly a school that local families are keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 203 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.44. That means more than three families applied for every available spot. Of those 203 applications, 75 were first-preference choices, and 57 of those families received an offer. While the school does not publish a parent satisfaction survey, the sheer demand for places is a strong signal that it is well-regarded in the community. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It has no religious character and is led by headteacher Chris Bagnall. With 468 pupils on roll against a capacity of 460, it is operating slightly above its official capacity, which is another indicator of its popularity.
