About Staveley Community Primary School

Staveley Community Primary School is a small state primary in North Yorkshire that parents clearly want to get into. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 33 applications for just 9 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.67 to one. Only 6 first-preference offers were made, meaning most families who put it top of their list were turned away. That level of demand is a strong signal of local reputation, especially given the school has just 83 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70. ParentView data isn’t available in this snapshot, but the sheer competition for places tells its own story about how the school is perceived by the families who know it best.
