About Swinemoor Primary School

Swinemoor Primary School gives off strong signals of being a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 39 applications for just 22 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.77 applicants per spot. Every one of those 22 first-preference families was offered a place, suggesting that for those who put it top of their list, it works out. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, located in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and is led by headteacher Mr L Myers MBE. It has no religious character and no nursery or sixth form provision. With 220 pupils on roll against a capacity of 273, there is some physical room, but demand clearly outstrips supply. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 34.5%, which is notably above the national average and points to a genuinely inclusive intake.
