About Kirby Hill Church of England (VC) Primary School

Parents considering Kirby Hill Church of England (VC) Primary School will be reassured by the strong vote of confidence from local families. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 61 applications for just 22 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.77. Of the 22 first-preference applications, 21 received offers, meaning the vast majority of families who put it first got a place, but competition remains high. The school’s parent-view data isn’t published, but the demand alone signals a solid reputation in the North Yorkshire area. With a capacity of 150 and currently 120 pupils on roll, there is some room to grow, but the trend suggests it’s a popular choice among local families, particularly those seeking a Church of England primary with a strong community feel.
