About Monk Fryston Church of England Primary School

Monk Fryston Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently educating 198 children against a capacity of 210. That leaves a handful of spare places, but the school is clearly in strong demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 106 applications for 27 total places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.93. Of those, 25 were first-preference applications, and exactly 25 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it first got a spot, but competition from other preferences was fierce. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9.1%, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23%), reflecting a relatively affluent local catchment. The school holds a Church of England religious character and is led by headteacher Rick Weights. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated the school Good overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision and personal development.
