About Carlton Primary School

Carlton Primary School is a state primary in North Yorkshire that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 42 applications for just 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.75. All 24 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that while the school is popular, those who put it first stand a strong chance. The school has a Good rating from Ofsted following its November 2023 inspection, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. Under headteacher Jon Watson, the school now holds Good marks across all five inspected categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. With 171 pupils on roll against a capacity of 196, there is some room for growth, and the 17% of pupils eligible for free school meals is slightly above the national average, indicating a genuinely mixed intake.
