Riston Church of England Primary Academy has a published admission number of 70 places. 92 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 131%. At 131% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. East Riding of Yorkshire allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
