About Wykebeck Primary School

Wykebeck Primary School in Leeds is a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 413 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, it is essentially full. The oversubscription picture for the 2025/26 intake tells the story: the school had 76 applications for just 33 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.3. All 30 first-preference applicants were offered places, meaning that if you put it first on your form, you had a strong chance, but the remaining 46 families who listed it lower down were out of luck. The school serves a community with significant economic disadvantage — 53.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national primary average of around 23%. That context matters when looking at the school’s results, because it is achieving solid outcomes for a cohort facing considerable challenges.
