Check the area around this school
39th 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 3,004 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.5/10 among them, against 7.8/10 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 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| 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.

What Ofsted said about Huby Church of England Primary School
Overview
Huby CofE Primary School continues to be a good school, characterised by a strong Christian ethos and high expectations for all pupils. The report highlights that pupils feel safe, behave exceptionally well, and are enthusiastic about their learning across a wide range of subjects.
Strengths
- A "strong Christian ethos" permeates the school, with pupils demonstrating values such as friendship, perseverance, respect, and courage.
- Teachers possess "strong subject knowledge" and use regular checks to identify and address gaps in pupils’ understanding.
- The provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is a strength, with needs identified quickly and high expectations maintained.
- Phonics delivery is consistent and effective, with books matched to sounds learned, helping pupils develop fluency in reading.
- Leaders respond immediately to declining attendance, and governors provide "strong oversight" of the school.
Areas to improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculum content is not sequenced in a logical order, preventing some pupils from fully developing necessary knowledge. The school should ensure appropriate sequencing in all subjects.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
