Askrigg Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Leyburn, DL8 3BJ · North Yorkshire · primary school
143rd 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.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,185 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1/10 among them, against 3.6/10 nationally. 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
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 33.0 · 4 | 40% | 0.17 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 17.0 · 87 | 25% | 2.18 |
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, 33.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.1 out of 10 among them, against 3.6 out of 10 nationally.
Getting in. The school has 39 pupils in a capacity of 52, leaving 13 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. With 13 places available, how does the school maintain consistent class sizes for social development? Since the 2023 inspection, what specific steps have been taken to close the gap between the 33.0% expected standard and the national median? How does the school support pupils in reaching the higher standard, given the 17.0% figure?
