About Hazelbury Bryan Primary School

If you are considering Hazelbury Bryan Primary School, the experience of current parents and the local community offers a strong starting point. The school is clearly popular, with 25 applications for just 10 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.5. All ten first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while it is in demand, families who put it first have a solid chance. The school is a state primary for mixed genders, serving children from ages 2 to 11, and it also offers nursery provision. Under headteacher Kelly Waring, the school has a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a grade it has held consistently across both its recent inspections. The school’s capacity is 119 pupils, and it currently has 124 on roll, which is slightly over capacity and further underlines its local appeal.
