About Leyburn Primary School

Parents considering Leyburn Primary School will find a school that is clearly in demand among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, with 31 applications for 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 48. All 21 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while it is popular, families who put it first stand a good chance. The school has a nursery provision, catering for children from age 3, and currently has 189 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is some room to grow. The headteacher is Sarah Beveridge, who leads a mixed, non-religious state primary. The most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated the school Good across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2008, but the school has held a solid Good rating for over a decade.
