About North and South Cowton Community Primary School

North and South Cowton Community Primary School is a tiny state primary in North Yorkshire that, despite its size, clearly appeals to local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, receiving six applications for just two available places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3:1. Only one of those applications was a first preference, suggesting that while the school is popular, it may not be the top choice for every family in the area. With just 13 pupils on roll against a capacity of 52, the school operates at a fraction of its potential size, which means children here benefit from exceptionally small class groups and a high level of individual attention. The school does not publish a parent view survey, so there is no formal recommendation percentage to draw on, but the oversubscription figures indicate that enough families are keen to secure a place.
