About Barrowcliff School

Barrowcliff School is a state primary in North Yorkshire that clearly inspires strong local confidence. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 55 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 75 to one. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is high, families who put it first are likely to succeed. The school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, but the sheer volume of applications relative to capacity is a telling signal in itself. With 247 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is not at full capacity, yet it remains a popular choice. This combination of high demand and available spaces may reflect a school that is well-regarded locally but still has room to grow.
