Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 1 year ago Mixed Primary
3.0/10 Below average

194th 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 4,278 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9/10 among them, against 1.9/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 53.0 · 24 40% 0.96
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81

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, 53.0% 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 December 2024. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 0.9 out of 10 among them, against 1.9 out of 10 nationally.

Getting in. The school has 118 pupils in a capacity of 134, leaving 16 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. With 16 places remaining, how quickly do these fill up for the next academic year? How does the school support pupils who are not reaching the higher standard in their subjects?
