About Henleaze Junior School

Henleaze Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in the Bristol, City of area, and its current intake numbers tell a clear story. With 317 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, the school is not yet full, operating at roughly 88% of its maximum. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 8.5%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent local catchment. Despite this spare capacity, the school is ranked 25th out of 85 primary schools in the local authority, placing it in the top 30% of Bristol primaries. That ranking, combined with the fact that the nearest Outstanding-rated school (Bishop Road Primary School) is less than a kilometre away, suggests Henleaze faces stiff competition for families who prioritise Ofsted grades. The school’s admission information doesn’t indicate oversubscription, so it may be a more accessible option for families who want a junior school in north Bristol without the pressure of a waiting list.
