About Molescroft Primary School

Molescroft Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 113 applications for just 59 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.92 applicants per place. Of those, 63 families put Molescroft as their first preference, and all 59 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This level of demand is a strong signal that parents who know the school well are keen to secure a place. The school’s reputation is backed by its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, where it was rated Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That’s a clean sweep of top grades, and it’s worth noting the school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2008, suggesting consistent high performance over a long period.
