About Kirkby in Malhamdale United Voluntary Aided Primary School
Kirkby in Malhamdale United Voluntary Aided Primary School is a small state primary in North Yorkshire that clearly commands strong local confidence. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 18 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 8. All ten first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the overall demand shows that families in the area are actively seeking a place here. The school currently has 54 pupils on roll against a capacity of 84, so there is some room for growth, but the oversubscription suggests that for the reception intake, competition is real. ParentView data is not available in the school’s records, but the combination of high first-preference demand and a Good Ofsted rating (confirmed in its most recent graded inspection in 2019 and upheld in an ungraded inspection in 2024) points to a school that local families trust.
