About East Garforth Primary Academy

East Garforth Primary Academy is a mixed state primary school in Leeds that currently teaches 216 pupils against a capacity of 346, meaning it is running well below its potential intake. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.8%, which is notably lower than the national average and suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. Despite the available space, the school is heavily oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 academic year, receiving 124 applications for just 25 places. Only 24 first-preference offers were made, giving an oversubscription ratio of nearly five to one. This level of demand signals strong local confidence in the school, even though it is not yet full overall — likely because families are concentrated in the younger year groups. The school has a nursery provision, which may also feed into the high demand for Reception places.
