About Broadfield Primary Academy

Broadfield Primary Academy is a state primary in Crawley, West Sussex, and its intake data paints a clear picture of a school in demand. The school has capacity for 630 pupils but currently enrols 487, leaving some headroom, yet for the 2025/26 intake it received 124 applications for just 54 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.3 to one. All 50 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning families who put the school first are very likely to get in. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 33.4%, which is notably above the national average for primary schools and indicates a diverse intake with a significant number of children from lower-income households. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age three through to eleven, and it offers a nursery provision, making it a full primary option for families in the area.
