About Keeble Gateway Academy

Keeble Gateway Academy, a state primary in North Yorkshire, was rated Good across all five categories in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2024. That includes Good marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. With a school capacity of 236 and just 178 pupils on roll, it is operating well below capacity, yet it is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 51 applications for 21 places, with 20 of those going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 2.43 tells you this is a school local parents are keen to get into, despite the fact that the nearest Outstanding-rated alternative, Alanbrooke Academy, is only 4.1 kilometres away.
