About Malton Primary Academy
If you're a parent considering Malton Primary Academy, the feedback from other families is a good place to start. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period up to September 2025, 81% of the 27 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a solid vote of confidence. Digging into the detail, 93% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 89% felt their child is safe. There's also a strong sense that the school has high expectations, with 89% agreeing on that front. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 56 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.95. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, but the numbers show demand significantly outstrips supply, so getting a place is competitive.
