Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put Bramley Park Academy first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

School overview

Bramley Park Academy is a primary school serving Leeds, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy. It has 331 pupils aged 3 to 11 on roll. At its most recent graded inspection, Ofsted rated Bramley Park Academy 'Outstanding'. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 63% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. That is down 5.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 104 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 6% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Bramley Park Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 46 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 7.0%. There are about 18.4 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 56% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
