St Chad's Church of England Primary School has a published admission number of 210 places. 237 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 113%. At 113% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Leeds allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 10.2% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average. The school draws primarily from a lower-deprivation part of Leeds.
