About Clapgate Primary School

Clapgate Primary School in Leeds is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has a capacity of 498 pupils and currently enrols 440, leaving some room but not much slack. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 129 applications for just 60 places, with 61 of those applications coming as first preferences. That works out at 2. 15 applications per place, a strong signal of demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 35. 6%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests Clapgate serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. The school is non-religious and has a nursery provision, meaning it takes children from age three. Heather Taylor is the headteacher.
