Menston Primary School

About Menston Primary School

Menston Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 5 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With a school capacity of 420 and 390 pupils currently on roll, it is not quite full, but the demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 132 applications for 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.2. Of those, 59 were first-preference applications, and 59 first-preference offers were made, meaning virtually every family who put it first got a place. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at just 3.1%, well below the national average and a clear signal that the school serves a relatively affluent catchment. The school has no religious character and no nursery provision, so children join in Reception. Headteacher Marie Wilson leads a school that, demographically, draws from a fairly narrow socioeconomic band, which often correlates with the strong academic results the school achieves.
