Primley Wood Primary School
About Primley Wood Primary School
Primley Wood Primary School in Leeds is a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently home to 249 pupils against a capacity of 300, leaving some headroom for growth. Its intake reflects a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 22.5% of pupils qualify for free school meals, compared to a national primary average of around 23.8% and a Leeds average that typically sits in the low 20s. Demand is strong — for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 77 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.35 to one. Of those, 19 were first-preference offers, matching the number of first-preference applications exactly, suggesting that nearly every family who put it top got a spot. The school is non-religious and has a nursery provision, so it serves families from the earliest years through to Year 6.
