Yesoiday Hatorah Boys Academy: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2025 entry, 5 families put Yesoiday Hatorah Boys Academy as their first choice, for 5 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2025 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 15 in 2018 to 5 in 2025, while places went from 14 to 5.
Across Bury, 91% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 98% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Bury lodged 77 appeals against primary school offers; 32 reached a hearing and 6 succeeded (18.8% of those heard).
