About Newby Primary School

Newby Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary in Bradford, currently operating very close to its full capacity of 459 pupils with 455 on roll. The school serves a community with a notably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 32.1%, which is well above the national average and reflects the local demographic context. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 133 applications for just 50 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 2.66. Of those applicants, 46 were first-preference choices, and all 46 received an offer. This level of competition suggests Newby is a popular choice among local families, particularly given that the nearest Outstanding-rated alternative, Marshfield Primary, is 0.7 kilometres away. The school also offers nursery provision, catering for children from age three, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply'.
