About Camblesforth Community Primary Academy

Camblesforth Community Primary Academy is a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 31 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.94. Of those, 15 families put it as their first preference, and all 15 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage to back that up directly. The school is a state primary in North Yorkshire, with a mixed intake of 101 pupils aged 2 to 11, and is led by headteacher Dave Card. It has a nursery provision, which will appeal to families looking for a single setting from the early years upwards. The school is non-religious, so it draws from a broad catchment rather than a faith-based one.
