About St Marys Church of England Primary Academy

St Marys Church of England Primary Academy in Leeds is a state primary for children aged 5 to 11, currently home to 219 pupils against a capacity of 315. That means the school is running at roughly 70 per cent capacity, which is notable given the strong demand for places. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 67 applications for just 25 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 2. 68. Of those 67 applicants, 23 were first-preference choices, and all 23 received offers. The school serves a community with a high level of disadvantage: 37. 9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. This context matters when interpreting the school’s academic results and Ofsted rating, as schools with higher FSM percentages often face additional challenges. The school’s religious character is Church of England, and it is led by headteacher Jessica Crisp.
