Stillington Primary School
About Stillington Primary School
Stillington Primary School sends a strong signal to parents through its admission figures: for just 3 places in the 2025/26 intake, the school received 13 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.33. All three first-preference families were offered a place, but with more than four applicants for every spot, it is clearly a popular choice in the North Yorkshire area. The school is small, with only 30 pupils on roll against a capacity of 49, and it serves a community where 51.7% of children are eligible for free school meals. This context makes the school’s recent Ofsted upgrade particularly notable. In its most recent graded inspection in March 2024, Stillington was rated Good overall, a clear improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2021. Every inspected category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was judged Good, suggesting consistent progress across the board.
