Sharow Church of England Primary School
Ripon, HG4 5BJ · North Yorkshire · primary school
215th 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 3,926 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5/10 among them, against 2.4/10 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 | 31.0 · 3 | 62% | 0.20 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 8.0 · 57 | 38% | 2.19 |
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, 31.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 8.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 1.5 out of 10 among them, against 2.4 out of 10 nationally.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils join Eco Warriors, Mental Health Ambassadors, and the School Council, while participating in swimming, sports week, and sports afternoons. The school offers neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. With 76 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 99 places, there are 23 spare places. The school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who do not reach the expected standard in core subjects? What specific strategies are used to raise attainment to the national median? How do you manage class sizes given the significant difference between current enrolment and capacity?
