About Farfield Primary and Nursery School

Farfield Primary and Nursery School in Bradford is a state-funded, mixed primary school for children aged 3 to 11, and it is currently running very close to its full capacity of 420 pupils with 411 on roll. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 49% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that stands well above the national average and signals a significant concentration of socio-economic need in its intake. Demand for places is strong, with the school oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year. It received 67 total applications for just 29 places, and of those, 28 first-preference applications were made, with 28 first-preference offers issued. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.31 applicants per place, suggesting that while competition is real, nearly all first-preference families secured a spot. The school also offers nursery provision, adding to its role as a key local resource for early years education in the Bradford area.
