About Holybrook Primary School

Holybrook Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in Bradford, currently educating 262 pupils against a capacity of 258 — meaning it is essentially full. The school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage: 59.4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average and a clear marker of the area it supports. Demand is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 72 applications for 29 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.48. Of those, 35 were first-preference applications, and 28 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition suggests that local families see Holybrook as a desirable option, despite — or perhaps because of — the challenges its intake profile presents. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three, which may help families integrate into the school community early.
