About Hensall Community Primary School

Hensall Community Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11 in North Yorkshire, and it is currently running at full capacity with 141 pupils against a school capacity of 140. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.6 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent local intake. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 38 applications for 18 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.11, and all 17 first-preference applicants were offered a place. This strong local demand signals that the school is a popular choice among families in the area, despite its relatively small size. The school has no nursery provision and no sixth form, so it serves the primary years only, and its religious character is listed as 'does not apply', making it a secular option for families.
