About Rossett Acre Primary School

Rossett Acre Primary School is a state-funded mixed primary in North Yorkshire, currently operating at full capacity with 422 pupils against a published capacity of 420. The school's intake reflects a notably lower-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, at 10.2 per cent, compared with the national primary average of around 23 per cent. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 187 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.12. Of those, 56 were first-preference applications, and 54 first-preference offers were made, indicating that most families who put the school first were successful. The school does not have a religious character and does not offer nursery provision, so its intake begins at age four. With a mixed gender balance and no boarding or sixth form, Rossett Acre is a straightforward community primary serving its local area.
