Crakehall Church of England Primary School
Bedale, DL8 1HP · North Yorkshire · primary school
66th 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 3,485 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0/10 among them, against 6.5/10 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 | 75.0 · 78 | 40% | 3.11 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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, 75.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in February 2025. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 5.0 out of 10 among them, against 6.5 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Masham Scouts and the Tea Timers Club. The school provides both a breakfast club and an after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 121 pupils in a building with 106 places, meaning it is over capacity by 15. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the transition for new starters when it is operating over its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in maths? How are the breakfast and after-school clubs structured to support families with varying work schedules?
