About Crossley Street Primary School

Crossley Street Primary School is clearly a popular choice among Leeds families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 139 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.63. Of those, 46 families put it as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage, so we cannot report a specific recommend rate. The school is led by headteacher Gavin Hirst and currently has 226 pupils on roll, just below its capacity of 236. It is a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is low at 5.4%, well below the national average, which gives some indication of the school's intake profile.
