Ofsted report card · 2026 Lowest area: Expected standard Mixed Primary Church of England
4.3/10 Broadly average

136th of 252 primary schools in North Yorkshire we can score, 290 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.0/10 against 4,249 of them, against 6.1/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

How this is worked out
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 83.0 · 92 40% 3.67
Ofsted 9 35% 0.32
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 0.0 · 10 25% 0.26

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 83.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school "Requires improvement" in January 2026. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.1 out of 10 against all schools).

Getting in. The school has 80 pupils in a capacity of 105 places, leaving 25 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to reach the higher standard in core subjects? What specific actions are being taken to address the "Requires improvement" rating? How do the smaller class sizes impact individual teaching time?
