Alanbrooke Academy
About Alanbrooke Academy
Alanbrooke Academy is a small primary school in North Yorkshire with a current pupil roll of just 21, against a capacity of 105, meaning it is operating at only a fifth of its potential size. This is a school that families are beginning to discover: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 5 total applications for just 4 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.25 applicants per place. All 4 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, suggesting that while demand is growing, it remains manageable for those who prioritise the school. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11, led by headteacher Keeley Ungerechts. Its small size means class groups are intimate, and the school has a Sensory Room, Art Studios, Music Rooms, an Outdoor Playground and a Chapel among its facilities. With 16 out of 292 primary schools in the local authority rated Outstanding, Alanbrooke sits in a select group, but its tiny intake sets it apart from most peers.
