About Brotherton and Byram Community Primary Academy

Brotherton and Byram Community Primary Academy is a mixed state primary in North Yorkshire, currently home to 189 pupils against a capacity of 210, so it is running with some spare room. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 32.2%, which is notably higher than the national average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. Demand for places is modestly above supply: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 30 applications for 27 places, with 24 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 1.11 indicates a school that is popular locally but not fiercely contested. The headteacher is Ben Greene, and the school has a nursery provision for children from age three, as well as a Forest School programme, which will appeal to families who value outdoor learning from an early age.
