We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of square-free integers in $N$ consecutive values of polynomials on average over integral polynomials of degree at most $k$ and of height at most $H$, where $H\,\ge \,{{N}^{k-1+\varepsilon }}$ for some fixed $\varepsilon \,>\,0$. Individual results of this kind for polynomials of degree $k\,>\,3$, due to A. Granville (1998), are only known under the $ABC$-conjecture.
