About Hollybush Primary

Hollybush Primary is a mixed state primary in Leeds that currently teaches 358 pupils against a school capacity of 511, meaning it is operating well below its physical maximum. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 44.1%, which is notably high compared with the national average and suggests the school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage. Despite the spare capacity, demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 83 applications for 37 places, with 36 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.24. This level of competition indicates that local families are actively choosing Hollybush, even though it is not yet full. The school has a nursery provision for children from age three, and its religious character is listed as not applicable, so it is a fully secular option in the Leeds area.
