About Cayton Community Primary School

Cayton Community Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, located in North Yorkshire. With 210 pupils on roll against a capacity of 260, the school is not yet full, but demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 78 applications for just 29 places, with 33 of those applications as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2. 69, meaning nearly three families compete for each spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 19. 5%, which is higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still significant for a village school context. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Juliet Monaghan. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are maintained, and the school retains its overall Good rating, a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2015 when it was rated Requires Improvement.
