Cliffe Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Selby, YO8 6NN · North Yorkshire · primary school
181st 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 4,271 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 57.0 · 32 | 40% | 1.29 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| 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, 57.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in August 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.1 out of 10 among them, against 2.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join the School Council, Premier Sport lunchtime and afterschool clubs, a cookery club, and Frozen Fridays. They take part in the daily mile, keyboard lessons, a Christmas Nativity, and the RockSteady Concert. Trips include visits to the seaside and the pantomime. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 86 pupils in a building with 119 places, leaving 33 spare spots. 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 move from the expected standard to the higher standard? What specific strategies are used to improve reading outcomes? How does the small class size influence individual teaching time?
