About Barmby-on-the-Marsh Primary School

Barmby-on-the-Marsh Primary School is a small state primary in the East Riding of Yorkshire that clearly commands strong local confidence. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 21 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.33 — meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. All 9 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while competition is real, those who put it top of their list have a solid chance. The school is led by headteacher Claire Hitchen and currently has 58 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 84, so there is room to grow. Ofsted’s most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2018. With 8.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the intake is slightly below the national average, reflecting the largely rural, relatively affluent catchment.
