About Green Lane Primary School

Green Lane Primary School in Bradford is a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is a school that families clearly want to get into. With a total capacity of 780 places, the school currently has 572 pupils on roll, meaning there is still some room to grow. However, the demand is intense: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 153 applications for just 55 places, and all 55 first-preference offers were taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.78 applicants per place. The school serves a community with a high level of disadvantage — 37.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and reflects the local demographic. The headteacher is Joanna Baxendale, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, so families can start their child’s education here from age two.
