About Broadgate Primary School

Broadgate Primary School in Leeds is clearly a school that local families want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 188 applications for just 54 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.48, meaning more than three families competed for every spot. Of those, 43 first-preference families were offered places, so while many were disappointed, the school is a realistic option for those who prioritise it. ParentView data is not available in this dataset, so we can't report a satisfaction percentage, but the sheer demand speaks volumes. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Qualtrough and currently has 437 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 420. It is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision, and has no religious character. In its most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection in 2024, the school was judged to remain Good overall, with leadership and management also rated Good. However, the early years provision was rated Requires Improvement, which is a specific point for parents with younger children to consider.
