About Bradway Primary School

Bradway Primary School in Sheffield is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 409 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is running very close to full, and the demand is reflected in its admission data for the 2025/26 intake. The school received 123 applications for just 57 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.16, and all 56 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That suggests a strong local reputation and a catchment that families are keen to live within. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.4%, which is below the national average for primary schools and indicates a relatively affluent intake compared with many schools in the Sheffield local authority area. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form, so it is a straightforward primary option for families looking for a non-denominational state education from Reception through to Year 6.
