About Christ Church Church of England Primary School

Christ Church Church of England Primary School in North Yorkshire is a small, mixed-gender state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently operating slightly above its official capacity of 140 with 145 pupils on roll. The school serves a community where 20. 7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that sits above the national average for primary schools and suggests a higher-than-typical level of socio-economic disadvantage among its intake. Demand for places is notably strong: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 42 applications for just 19 places, with 18 of those offers going to first-preference families. This gives an oversubscription ratio of 2. 21, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot, a clear signal of local popularity despite the school’s current Ofsted rating. The headteacher is Diane Cooper, and the school has a Church of England religious character.
