All Saints Church of England School

About All Saints Church of England School

All Saints Church of England School is a small primary in North Yorkshire with 81 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, so there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 6.2%, well below the national average and a sign that the school serves a relatively affluent catchment. Despite its size, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 46 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.07. Eighteen families put it as their first preference, and only 12 of those received offers, so getting a place is competitive. The school is a Church of England primary, which may influence admissions criteria for some families. Headteacher Amber Andrews leads a mixed-gender state primary for children aged 4 to 11, and the school does not have a nursery or sixth form.

Academically, All Saints performs very strongly. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 88% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with a North Yorkshire local authority average of just 60%. Every single pupil met the expected standard in both reading and maths individually, and 38% achieved a higher standard in reading. The average reading score was 109 and the average maths score was 106, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. The school ranks 7th out of 223 primary schools in North Yorkshire on the combined expected standard metric, placing it in the top 5% nationally. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2022 confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. The previous graded inspection in 2013 also gave an overall Good rating, so the school has a consistent track record.

Facilities include an outdoor playground, playing fields, a sports hall, gymnasium, library, ICT suite, art studios and a chapel. Sports on offer include tennis, swimming, cricket, gymnastics, dance, athletics and cross country, and there is a good range of clubs such as film, eco, gardening, book, science and art. The school has identified SEND provisions for specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, speech and language needs, visual impairment and autistic spectrum disorder. With its strong academic results, low FSM intake and high oversubscription, this is a school that will particularly suit families who value high attainment in a small, church-affiliated setting and who are prepared to compete for a place. Parents should check the admissions policy carefully, especially regarding faith-based criteria.
