Malton School
Malton, YO17 7NH · North Yorkshire · secondary school
18th of 41 secondary schools in North Yorkshire we can score. 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 — 6.6/10 against 924 of them, against 6.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 50.3 · 66 | 45% | 2.95 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 40% | 2.07 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 46.6 · 55 | 15% | 0.82 |
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, 50.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 46.6, compared with the national median of 44.6. Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2024. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (6.6 out of 10 against similar schools, 6.3 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Journalism and Gardening Clubs, or pursue the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Sports include Equestrian, while arts and music offer Theatre and Arts Award. Trips include Outward Bound at East Barnby, an Alsace Trip, and Walking with Alpacas.
Getting in. The school has 1041 pupils in a capacity of 980, meaning it is over capacity by 61. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the pressure of being over capacity by 61 places? What support is available for pupils who do not achieve Grade 5 or above in English and maths? How does the school integrate the Equestrian programme into the wider curriculum?
