About Filton Avenue Primary School

Filton Avenue Primary School is a state primary in Bristol that serves a notably diverse intake. With 570 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, the school is not at full capacity, yet demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 132 applications for 77 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.71. All 74 first-preference applicants received an offer, suggesting that while the school is popular, it is not yet at the point of turning away local families who put it first. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 39.1%, which is significantly higher than the national primary average of around 23%. This places Filton Avenue in a context where it is serving a community with above-average levels of disadvantage, something that makes its academic performance all the more noteworthy.
