Check the area around this school
15th 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 — 9.6/10 against 1,845 of them, against 9.7/10 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 | 94.0 · 99 | 40% | 3.96 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 22.0 · 94 | 25% | 2.35 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

The higher standard was reached by 22.0% of pupils, against a national median of 7%. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024.

What Ofsted said about Middleton Tyas Church of England Primary School
Overview
The report describes a school operating across two sites with a "strong sense of unity" and "high expectations" for pupils. It highlights that children are "articulate and confident," with "exceptional" behaviour and a positive attitude towards learning. The inspection notes that while pupils achieve well in core subjects, there are inconsistencies in how knowledge is built in foundation subjects.
Strengths
- Pupils demonstrate "exceptional" behaviour, showing "respect and perseverance" with rare incidents of bullying.
- The curriculum in English and mathematics is strong, with pupils becoming "competent readers" quickly through effective phonics teaching.
- Staff work collaboratively with trust support to improve subject knowledge and access "regular professional development opportunities."
- Pupils have a "voice" through the school council, leading initiatives such as an "eco-club" and creating a "reading den."
- Governors are "passionate about supporting the school" and fulfil their duties well, contributing to a "strong sense of collegiality."
Areas to improve
- Teaching must consistently support pupils to "make links between their learning" rather than remembering "isolated facts," particularly in subjects like history.
- Adults need to "routinely check that pupils’ knowledge is building and deepening over time" to ensure effective retention.
- The school should clarify what "most important knowledge and skills" pupils need during intervention time for those with special educational needs.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
