About Skipton Parish Church of England Primary School

Skipton Parish Church of England Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 55 applications chasing just 18 places for the 2025/26 intake, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 06. Of those applicants, 17 put the school as their first preference, and 16 received offers. This level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth reputation, though the school does not publish a formal parent satisfaction survey percentage. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, led by headteacher Lucy Peberdy. It has capacity for 420 pupils but currently enrols 220, so there is room to grow. A significant 36. 8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, indicating a diverse intake. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2024 rated it Good across all areas, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision, a notable improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2019.
