About Scawsby Saltersgate Infant School

Scawsby Saltersgate Infant School is a state primary in Doncaster for children aged 3 to 7, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 309 pupils on roll against a capacity of 348, the school is not quite full, yet demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 109 applications for 83 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.31. Of those, 78 were first-preference applications, and all 78 received offers — meaning every family who put it first got a place, but late applicants would have faced competition. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.2%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools (around 23%), suggesting the school draws from a relatively less deprived catchment. This demographic profile, combined with the oversubscription, points to a school that is well-regarded locally without being unattainable for families who rank it top.
