About Poppleton Ousebank Primary School

Poppleton Ousebank Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 51 first-preference applications for 52 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, meaning almost every family who wanted it got a spot. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 77 applications for those 52 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.48. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent-view survey for this school, the high first-preference rate and oversubscription are strong signals that families rate it highly. Headteacher Linda Collier leads a mixed, state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision available. The school has a capacity of 444 and currently has 426 pupils on roll, so there is a little breathing room. Just 7.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average, suggesting a relatively affluent intake.
