Grewelthorpe Church of England Primary School
About Grewelthorpe Church of England Primary School
Grewelthorpe Church of England Primary School has a near-perfect parent satisfaction record, with 100% of respondents to the Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. The survey, which ran between September 2024 and September 2025 and gathered 16 responses, shows particularly strong feelings around pupil happiness and safety: 81% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 88% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 academic year, it was oversubscribed, with 18 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. All 9 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers suggest that families outside that first circle may find it competitive. The school is a Church of England primary in North Yorkshire, led by headteacher Katie Barker, and currently has 82 pupils on roll, which is above its stated capacity of 70.
