About Chapel Allerton Primary School
Chapel Allerton Primary School is a state primary in Leeds that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local standing. With 468 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating above its official limit, and for the 2025/26 intake it received 226 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.77. Of those, 61 families put it as their first preference, and 57 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.2%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake compared with many schools in Leeds. The school is mixed, non-religious, and caters for children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. Nicholas Sykes is the headteacher.
