Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Primary
6.4/10 Broadly average

57th 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 4,306 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5/10 among them, against 7.0/10 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
MeasurePercentileWeightAdds
Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 71.0 · 68 40% 2.73
Ofsted 52 35% 1.81
Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 12.0 · 74 25% 1.85

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, 71.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 12.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. 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 7.0 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join Forest Schools, Rocksteady, and Music Tuition. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.

Getting in. The school has 125 pupils in a building with 210 places, leaving 85 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 who need extra help with reading, given the gap between expected and higher standards? What does the after-school club typically involve? How does the Forest Schools programme fit into the weekly timetable?
