About Hob Moor Community Primary Academy

Hob Moor Community Primary Academy is a state primary in York with 272 pupils on roll against a capacity of 320, meaning it is not yet full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 46.5%, which is notably high compared with the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for 31 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.19. Of those, 30 were first-preference applications, and 30 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that nearly every family who put it first secured a spot. The school has a mixed intake, with a nursery provision for three-year-olds and a non-religious character. Headteacher Tim Jolly leads a school that Ofsted rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in 2013, and an ungraded visit in 2022 confirmed it remains Good.
