About Huntington Primary Academy

Huntington Primary Academy in York is a mixed state primary for children aged 5 to 11, currently home to 362 pupils against a capacity of 420, meaning there is some room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications for 53 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.72, and made 52 offers to first-preference families. This level of competition indicates that despite its current Ofsted rating, the school remains a popular choice among local parents, particularly those living closest to the catchment area.
