Check the area around this school
1st 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.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 9.9/10 against 3,224 of them, against 9.8/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. 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 | 90.0 · 98 | 62% | 6.00 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 30.0 · 98 | 38% | 3.77 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Green Hammerton Church of England Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school where pupils embody values of “courage, compassion and friendship” and form “highly positive relationships” with staff. While behaviour, personal development, and leadership are rated as good, the quality of education requires improvement due to inconsistent progress in reading and writing for some older pupils.
Strengths
- Pupils exhibit “high levels of empathy” and respectful behaviour, creating “productive and purposeful” classroom environments.
- Early years provision is strong, with knowledgeable staff delivering a “well-designed curriculum” that prepares children well for the next stage.
- Phonics teaching is consistent and effective, allowing many pupils to become “fluent and confident readers.”
- Leaders prioritise pupils’ best interests, ensuring staff workload and well-being are protected despite recent leadership changes.
- Pupils make significant contributions to the community, developing a “compelling sense of equality and tolerance.”
Areas to improve
- The school must ensure recent curriculum improvements enable older pupils to achieve more highly in reading and writing, as some have had “inconsistent experiences.”
- Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) must be “precisely targeted” to address individual needs, as current provision does not always link to specific targets.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
