About Frizinghall Primary School

Frizinghall Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 51 out of 52 places offered to first-preference applicants in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school was oversubscribed, receiving 74 applications for its 52 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.42. This suggests a solid level of parent confidence, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a formal parent-view survey percentage. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for ages 3 to 11, located in the Bradford local authority area, and led by headteacher Victoria Merriman. It has a nursery provision and a non-religious character. With 404 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it is operating very close to full, which may explain the competitive admissions picture.
