About Brookfield Primary Academy

Brookfield Primary Academy in Rotherham is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, currently home to 254 pupils against a capacity of 315, meaning there is some room to grow. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: 32.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23%. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 56 applications for just 27 places, with all 27 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.07. This suggests a school that local families are keen to get into, even though it isn't the most oversubscribed in the area. The headteacher is Daisy Dunning, and the school has no religious character, making it a straightforward community option for families across Rotherham.
