Stanbury Village School
About Stanbury Village School
Stanbury Village School is a small state primary in Bradford that is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its local popularity. With 113 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school is operating above its official limit, and for the 2025/26 intake it received 46 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.18. Every one of those 11 places went to a first-preference applicant. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the local average: just 4.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23%. This suggests a relatively affluent catchment, and the school’s mixed gender, non-religious character (with no formal religious designation) means it draws from a broad cross-section of the community. Nursery provision is available from age three, and the school is co-educational throughout.
