Ninelands Primary School

About Ninelands Primary School

Ninelands Primary School in Leeds is a state primary that is comfortably full but not bursting at the seams, with 443 pupils on roll against a capacity of 472. That leaves a little breathing room, though the demand for places tells a different story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 180 applications for just 56 places, meaning it was oversubscribed by a factor of 3.21. All 56 first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests that while competition is real, being strategic with your application can pay off. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average: just 5.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with around 23% nationally. That figure also sits well below the Leeds local authority average for primary schools, which tends to hover closer to 18-20%. This demographic profile, combined with the high application numbers, points to a school that is popular with local families who may be prioritising academic outcomes and a stable, well-regarded environment.
