About Barlby Community Primary School

Barlby Community Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 64 applications for 41 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.56. Every one of the 41 first-preference applicants received an offer, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2023, confirmed it remains Good, a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2014 when it was rated Requires Improvement. Leadership and management were also judged Good in that 2014 inspection. While the school does not publish a parent-view survey result, the combination of oversubscription and a stable Good rating from Ofsted points to a school that local parents trust and want to send their children to.
