About Farsley Springbank Primary School

Farsley Springbank Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 192 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.2. Of those, 70 families put it as their first preference, and all 60 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, and while the school doesn't publish a parent-view survey percentage, the sheer volume of applications is a telling signal in itself. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a capacity of 420 and currently 419 pupils on roll. Only 2.9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is notably low compared with many Leeds primaries, and the school has no religious character.
