Hambleton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Selby, YO8 9HP · North Yorkshire · primary school
37th 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 3,110 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0/10 among them, against 8.0/10 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 | 85.0 · 94 | 40% | 3.75 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 25% | 1.43 |
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, 85.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2026. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 7.0 out of 10 among them, against 8.0 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Gardening, Choir, Craft, Recorder, Drama, and Cheerleading clubs, and play basketball, football, netball, cricket, rounders, golf, and tag rugby. The school also organises residential visits. There is no breakfast or after-school club.
Getting in. The school has 188 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 22 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who arrive without a breakfast club? With 22 places remaining, how quickly do new intakes integrate into existing class groups? How does the 7.0/10 similar-intake score influence the curriculum’s focus on higher standards?
