Schools in Knaresborough
Knaresborough is a historic market town in North Yorkshire, with 7 primary schools and 1 secondary school administered by North Yorkshire Council. North Yorkshire does not operate a selective grammar school system; secondary places are allocated by distance from the school's admissions address, with siblings given priority. Three of Knaresborough's schools are faith schools, primarily Church of England, which apply religious criteria ahead of distance.
Knaresborough is a popular commuter town for Harrogate and Leeds, which can create significant demand for local school places. Families should check the annual admissions prospectus published by North Yorkshire Council each September, as catchment boundaries and oversubscription criteria can change. The national primary deadline of 15 January and secondary deadline of 31 October apply in North Yorkshire.
