About Haxby Road Primary Academy

Haxby Road Primary Academy is a state-funded mixed primary school in York for children aged 2 to 11, and it is noticeably oversubscribed. The school currently has 284 pupils on roll against a capacity of 225, meaning it is operating well above its intended size. For the 2025/26 reception intake, there were 64 applications for just 30 places, with 28 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.13, a clear signal of local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 29%, which is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools (around 23-24%), suggesting the school serves a relatively disadvantaged catchment. The school does not have a religious character, and its nursery provision means families can start their child’s education from age two, which may be a practical draw for working parents in the area.
