Co-op Academy Grange: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 102 families put Co-op Academy Grange as their first choice and 277 named it as one of their preferences, for 277 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 165 in 2021 to 102 in 2026, while places went from 309 to 277.
Across Bradford, 78% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 94% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Bradford lodged 756 appeals against secondary school offers; 583 reached a hearing and 78 succeeded (13.4% of those heard).
