Sherburn in Elmet, Athelstan Community Primary School
Leeds, LS25 6QN · North Yorkshire · primary school
91st 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 — 5.3/10 against 3,733 of them, against 5.3/10 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 76.0 · 80 | 40% | 3.19 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 0.0 · 10 | 25% | 0.26 |
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, 76.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared with the national median of 64%. Only 0.0% reached the higher standard. Its position is much the same whether compared with all schools or only those whose pupils have similar backgrounds (5.3 out of 10 either way). Ofsted rated the school Good in May 2023.
Beyond the classroom. Pupils participate in PE Week, Sports Workshops, and competitions, and attend Forest School trips. An after-school club is available, but there is no breakfast club.
Getting in. The school has 490 pupils in a building with 420 places, meaning it is over capacity by 70. This means places are competitive.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school manage the daily routine with 70 more pupils than its stated capacity? What specific support is available for pupils who have not reached the higher standard? How does the after-school club operate given the current pupil numbers?
