About E-Act St Ursula's Academy

E-Act St Ursula's Academy is a state primary in Bristol that is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 162 applications for just 61 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.66 applicants per spot. Only 44 of those applications were first-preference offers, which suggests a competitive admissions process. The school currently has 564 pupils against a capacity of 630, so there is some headroom, but the oversubscription tells you that many local families are keen to get in. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.2%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider Bristol area. The school is non-religious and mixed, with headteacher Nicky Arthur at the helm. It is part of the E-Act academy trust, which runs a network of schools across England.
