Check the area around this school
160th 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 3,869 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.4/10 among them, against 2.9/10 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 | 50.0 · 19 | 40% | 0.76 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 6.0 · 45 | 25% | 1.12 |
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 Settrington All Saints' Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Overview
Settrington All Saints’ Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School continues to be a good school. It is described as a ‘sanctuary of kindness, consideration and inclusivity’ where pupils are confident, happy, and proud. The school provides a broad curriculum and effective safeguarding, though improvements are needed in curriculum precision and early reading support.
Strengths
- Pupils are ‘confident, happy, and proud’ and treat others with ‘respect and courtesy’.
- The personal development curriculum effectively broadens pupils’ understanding of the world, encouraging them to become ‘courageous advocates’.
- Mathematics teaching has improved, with single-year groupings ensuring pupils can ‘access the learning and achieve success’.
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive ‘bespoke learning programmes’ to support their progress.
- Governors are ‘involved, committed and knowledgeable’ and work with leaders to improve the school.
Areas to improve
- The phonics programme is not always adapted quickly enough to meet individual needs, leaving some pupils not ‘secure readers’.
- The curriculum in some subjects lacks ‘precise knowledge’ expectations, meaning ambition for learning is sometimes set at an ‘achievable, rather than an aspirational, level’.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
