Dringhouses Primary School
York, YO24 1HW · York · primary school
12th of 47 primary schools in York we can score, 50 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 4,121 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5/10 among them, against 7.2/10 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 | 70.0 · 65 | 40% | 2.62 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 15.0 · 84 | 25% | 2.09 |
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, 70.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 15.0% reached the higher standard. An Ofsted inspection in January 2023 rated the school Good. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5 out of 10 among them, against 7.2 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Choir, Orchestra, Recorders, Rock Band, Computing, Chess Club, Code Club, and Circus Skills Club. Sports include Football, Netball, and Ignite Sports, alongside a Cookery Club. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.
Getting in. The school has 312 pupils in a capacity of 315 places, leaving just 3 spare spots. This means the school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage entry when only 3 places remain? What specific support is offered to pupils who do not reach the higher standard? How are the various music and computing clubs scheduled to avoid conflicts with core lessons?
