Ofsted: Good · 2022 Inspected 4 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.7/10 Broadly average

120th 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 4,048 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0/10 among them, against 4.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2022/23 50.0 · 19 40% 0.77
Ofsted 52 34% 1.76
Higher standard (RWM) 2022/23 17.0 · 87 25% 2.21

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 2022/23, 50.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 62%. The higher standard was reached by 17.0%. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 4.0 out of 10 among them, against 4.5 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Art Club and participate in skateboarding, cycling, gymnastics, horse riding, ice skating, archery, freestyle football, and running. Both a breakfast club and an after-school club are available.

Getting in. The school has 30 pupils in a building with 56 places, leaving 26 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 bridge the gap between the current 50.0% attainment rate and the national median of 62%? With 26 places available, how does the school maintain a consistent class size and teaching quality? What specific support is offered for pupils who do not reach the higher standard in their core subjects?
