Richard Taylor Church of England Primary School
Harrogate, HG1 3DT · North Yorkshire · primary school
114th 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 3,934 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.6/10 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 | 64.0 · 49 | 40% | 1.97 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
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, 64% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, matching the national median of 64%. Only 5% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in September 2022. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9 out of 10 among them, against 4.6 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Theatre, Art, Chess, Zen, Lantern Building, Board Games, Animation, and Gardening clubs. Sports include football, netball, cricket, tag rugby, judo, archery, and swimming. Music lessons cover choir, keyboard, violin, woodwind, electric guitar, and drums. An annual Space Camp trip is offered. An after-school club exists, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 277 pupils in a capacity of 278 places, leaving just 1 spare place. The school is close to full, so places are likely to be competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need extra help in maths, given the lower performance in similar-intake schools? What are the entry requirements for the after-school club? How does the school manage the high demand for the single remaining place?
