Carnagill Community Primary School
About Carnagill Community Primary School
Carnagill Community Primary School is a mixed state primary in North Yorkshire that currently educates 168 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning there is some physical room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19.2%, which is notably above the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this spare capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed for Reception places in the 2025/26 academic year: it received 38 applications for just 10 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.8, with only 7 first-preference offers made. This strong demand signal indicates that local families are actively choosing Carnagill, even though it is not the nearest school for many. The school has a nursery provision for children aged three and above, and its headteacher is Louise Newport. It is a non-religious, mixed-gender school serving the 3–11 age range.
