About Clifton Green Primary School

Clifton Green Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in York that currently teaches 397 pupils against a capacity of 450, meaning it is not yet full but clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 56 total applications for just 31 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.81, and all 31 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That level of competition suggests a school that local families are actively choosing. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 31.4%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and indicates a catchment serving a significant number of households with economic need. The school has a nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a fully non-denominational option in York.
