About Skelton Primary School

Skelton Primary School sends a reassuring signal to parents: in its most recent admissions round for 2025/26, the school received 58 applications for 53 places, with 51 of those offers going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 1.09 suggests a school that local parents are actively choosing, though not one that’s impossible to get into. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, a graded visit in 2017, rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. An ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good. That’s a notable turnaround from its previous inspection in 2016, when it was rated Inadequate. Early years provision, which was Good in 2017, was also judged Good in the 2022 ungraded inspection. With 474 pupils on roll against a capacity of 758, there’s still some headroom, and the school offers nursery provision for children from age three.
