Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Primary Church of England
4.6/10 Broadly average

30th of 47 primary schools in York we can score, 50 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 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 6.0/10 against 782 of them, against 4.3/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 61.0 · 41 40% 1.66

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 61.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 6.0% reached the higher standard. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (6.0 out of 10 against similar schools, 4.3 out of 10 against all schools). Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2024.

Beyond the classroom. An After School Fun Club operates for pupils.

Getting in. The school has 142 pupils in a capacity of 210, leaving 68 spare places. This means 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. With 68 places available, how does the school maintain consistent class sizes and staffing levels? Since there is no breakfast club, what options exist for early morning care? How does the school support pupils to bridge the gap between the 61.0% expected standard and the 6.0% higher standard?
