Bramham Primary School
About Bramham Primary School
If you are a parent in Leeds looking for a primary school that other families are actively keen to get into, Bramham Primary School sends a strong signal. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed by a ratio of 3.09 to one, meaning there were over three applications for every available place. Of the 68 total applications received, 20 were first-preference offers, and 21 families listed it as their top choice. That level of competition suggests a school with a solid local reputation. The school itself is a state primary for mixed genders, aged 5 to 11, and sits in the Leeds borough. It is not a faith school, and its headteacher is James Rugg. With 188 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, there is a little breathing room, but the oversubscription figures show that securing a place is far from guaranteed.
