About Great Ouseburn Community Primary School

Great Ouseburn Community Primary School is a small, mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11 in North Yorkshire, and it is genuinely popular with local families. The school has 122 pupils on roll, just nudging over its official capacity of 120, which tells you it is running full. That popularity is backed up by the admissions data for 2025/26: the school received 30 applications for just 15 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Of those, 17 were first-preference applications, and only 15 first-preference offers were made, so a fair number of families who wanted a place here did not get one. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is just 3.7%, well below the national average and a clear sign that the intake is from a relatively affluent catchment. The school is non-religious, co-educational, and has a nursery provision, so it caters for children from the earliest years right through to Year 6.
