About Bramley Grange Primary School

Bramley Grange Primary School in Rotherham is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 225 pupils against a capacity of 340. That leaves a fair amount of physical space, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 45 applications for 29 places, with 24 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.55, meaning more families want in than there are spots. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 15.6%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 13% but not dramatically so, suggesting a reasonably mixed catchment. The school does not have a religious character, and it offers nursery provision for the youngest children. Laura Davies is the headteacher.
