About Cross Gates Primary School

Cross Gates Primary School is a state primary in Leeds that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 105 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.5 to one. Of those applications, 37 were first-preference choices, and all 30 offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage to back that up directly. The school is led by headteacher Sophie Wilkinson and serves 268 pupils, which is above its official capacity of 210. It also offers nursery provision for children from age two, making it an option for families looking for an early start in a single setting through to Year 6.
