About Templenewsam Halton Primary School
Templenewsam Halton Primary School is a mixed state primary for children aged 3 to 11, located in the Leeds local authority. With 461 pupils on roll, it is running above its official capacity of 420, which already signals strong local demand. That demand is confirmed by the school’s admission data for the 2025/26 intake: 178 applications were received for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.97. Of those applicants, 64 listed it as their first preference, and 58 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.9%, which is worth noting against the national primary average of around 23% — meaning the school serves a slightly less disadvantaged cohort than the national norm. The school does not have a religious character, and its headteacher is Lisa Seton. Facilities include an outdoor playground, a dining hall, a sensory room, and a Forest School, alongside a broad range of clubs from drama and choir to coding and eco club.
