About St Peter's Church of England Primary School

St Peter's Church of England Primary School in North Yorkshire is a state primary for 4 to 11 year olds, currently home to 261 pupils against a capacity of 280. That leaves a little breathing room, but the demand tells a different story: for 28 places in the 2025/26 intake, the school received 138 applications, making it heavily oversubscribed with a ratio of nearly five applicants per place. Only 24 first-preference offers were made, all to families who put it top of their list. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 9.6%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting the intake skews towards more advantaged households. The school is Church of England, led by headteacher Paul Griffiths, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 judged it Good overall, with Early Years provision rated Outstanding.
