About Glasshouses Community Primary School

Glasshouses Community Primary School is a small state primary in North Yorkshire that clearly inspires strong local confidence. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 11 applications for just 3 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.67 — meaning nearly four families applied for every spot. All three first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who prioritise the school, it delivers. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand speaks for itself. Headteacher Nicola Thornber leads a mixed-gender school of just 51 pupils, well under its capacity of 70, so the oversubscription is concentrated in specific year groups. The school has a non-religious character and serves a rural community in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.
