About Eastwood Community School

Eastwood Community School is a state primary in Bradford that serves a notably diverse intake. With 480 pupils on roll against a capacity of 550, the school is not yet full, but demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 75 applications for 46 places, with all first-preference applicants offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.63 signals a popular local choice. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29%, well above the national average of around 23%, reflecting the school’s role in a community with higher-than-average socio-economic challenges. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 2 through to 11, and includes a nursery provision. Headteacher Suzanne Carter leads a mixed-gender, non-selective school that draws families from across the Bradford area, many of whom clearly see it as a first-choice option.
