About Lady Royd Primary School
Lady Royd Primary School is a popular choice among Bradford families, with 42 of the 45 available places for the 2025/26 intake going to first-preference applicants. The school is oversubscribed by a ratio of 2. 13, meaning there are more than two applications for every place, which signals strong local demand. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage in the data, the high number of first-preference applications suggests that families who know the school well are keen to secure a spot. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, led by headteacher Chris Tolson. It currently has 349 pupils on roll, operating slightly below its capacity of 392, which leaves some room for growth. With 46. 1 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage compared with the national picture.
