About Dunswell Primary School

Dunswell Primary School is a small state primary in the East Riding of Yorkshire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 26 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. All 12 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that while demand is strong, families who put it first have a very good chance. The school has a total of 89 pupils against a capacity of 105, so there is a little breathing room, but the oversubscription figure tells you this is a popular local choice. Ofsted visited in 2022 and rated the school Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — a clean sweep of Grade 2s that matches its previous Good rating from 2015.
